Use the fast internal SSD for everything. OS, applications, VIs, audio. Everything.
If you want to make a backup when you've finished the session, copy it to the HDD at that point.

+1. Record to your SSD. You can partition your SSD to have an 'Audio' partition. I use a 2 TB SSD that has 3 partitions. System, Audio and VST. Yes, all my VST's reside on a different partition from the system. That way, my system partition remains lean. Not that it matters much with an SSD, but I don't want my system partition growing too 'fat'.
With that plan, backing up the system is a breeze. i use the Audio partition for work in progress and transfer sessions that I'm not currently working on to an HDD.
