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.
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

Well I do plan on keeping this Laptop for awhile.
So if you think it can be a viable dual drive setup I'll stay with it.
Should I just wipe off all the Bitcoin Core and Armory stuff and start over?
Or would you just recommend moving things around between the drives?
Perhaps a check list of some sort?
Once I have the wallet up I can access my coins and then can pay you for your time..............
