I compared a decent single drive to a mirrored drive and the difference is most noticable. Also, having your system on a different physical drive will help alot, preferrably mirroring those aswell. Thus, a good choice with regular harddisks would be to use 4 drives total, which isn't an issue for today's mainboard that use to have a raid controller onboard and offer 4-8 SATA connectors.
An SSD will help alot more even, but unless you have a fortune to spend they're of rather low capacity and just a system and MO (along with all patches) will occupy alot of the limit disk space. If you decide for an SSD, make sure you get one of the most recent types (old generation types have severe issues after a short time, causing 1-2mins of PC pausing) along with Windows 7, which currently is the only system that supports SSDs properly.
Summary:
An SSD is way too small and expensive while 2 mirrored harddrives will be able offer all the capacity you will ever need.
Hope this helps.
