You can put as many hard drives in as you have sata ports. I have 5 in my desktop.
setting up SSD, need help with multiple drives

I'd certainly recommend doing what you suggest.
A 120GB SSD will be plenty big enough for the operating system and applications, whilst another 1TB HDD will take care of your data storage needs for some time to come.
A performance boost and more storage space gives you the best of both worlds.

How do you get windows to let you used multiple SSDs? I have a total of 4 drives, and while the OS sees that the 4 are connected to my system, it only lets me use 1 drive. What am I doing wrong? (Clean install on a new machine, so nothing to transfer.)

No. No raid on this thing.
Another fault to the list... Windows doesn't see the 2nd optical drive
More detail on the SSDs.
They're all 256GB drives
The one drive the system lets me use, has around 210GB out of 238GBs left on it.
Um... Is there anything else you need to know about the system?

I'm not familar with your board, but make sure if you have 2 sata controllers that they are both set to enabled in bios and the sata mode is ahci. Check the connections to the SSDs and if that doesn't work, connect them to another computer to see if they show up. Also, right click computer, select manage, and clcik disk management in the left column. See if they show up. Sometimes a new disk needs a drive letter assigned. If they are there right click them, selet new simple volume, and follow the prompts to format and assign them a letter.
