I'm at work, laptop is at home, but I wondered....
Would it be easier to to return this laptop and get one with a single larger SSD Drive
for the application, or is this dual drive setup workable for Core/Wallet applications?
I bought this G7 gaming laptop with the thinking that the addition of the second 1TB HDD was better than
a stand alone 535GB SSD laptop....
Bitcoin and Armory see a lot of benefit when their data files are on a SSD but it has taken a while for SSD storage to come down in price. The blockchain has increased in size by ~50GB in the past 12 months, and will be about the same in the next 12. My fully synced blocks folder is at 236GB right now, nearly half of that 535GB SSD (ignoring Windows and anything else). I'd want a 1TB SSD to see me through if I planned to have that laptop for a while. Would it be easier to to return this laptop and get one with a single larger SSD Drive

Up to you really but there is nothing stopping you from having a working setup with dual drives. I have Armory and Core installed to one drive, while Armory's DB and the blockchain are on a larger drive.
With some information from you I'm hoping to provide you with config files that you can just put in place. Should give you a nice stable setup
