I want my SSD which has all my programs and OS on it to be run in RAID 1 with another idential SSD. I also want to RAID 1 my 4TB hard drives, what computers specs should I get? Do I need more RAM if I have larger storage
gentoo
I dont really see how having more ram would matter much. I'd still shoot for 16gb though just because ram is cheap as fuck now.

To my knowledge, putting SSDs in RAID 1 isn't really needed, since they don't break often enough to warrant the cost of a drive you could use to double your storage instead. For the HDD it should be easy enough as long as your mobo supports it. System memory won't affect it much past a point, 8GB is a safe option as nothing is typically going to use more than that, you'll want a reasonable CPU, but as long as it's not total shit-tier it should handle it fine.

I don't want to have to conifgure my ssd all over again especially with all the settings on my programs

You will have to reinstall either way

Why?
Just make backups you idiot. Blowing money on an SSD for RAID is about the dumbest thing imaginable.
Agreed.

Why would I have to reinstall if I put my ssd in RAID 1?

Why would you waste an SSD on RAID when you can just do backups instead?
How do people as dumb as you even manage to afford SSDs?

I don't want to reintall my things thats why I am looking to use raid 1
