Can I go with 128MB SSD for the OS and program and a conventional drive for internal backup?
Personally, I would go with five 1TB drives with a RAID 5. You will have 4TBs. The other way on 2TBs. Then a hot spare. Or 2 X 2 TB in a mirror for 2TBs total with a hot spare. Sandeep will disagree on the first.

Tom, Do you use Microsoft literature to learn Word? No you play with it. Microsoft's articles are a bit up there. I tend to use TechNet. BUT, AND NO ONE BELIEVES ME, BUT TRAIN SIGNAL IS THE BEST WAY TO GO. BY FAR.
Never used SSDs on a server, so I don't know how fast it would be for SQL. You could email Raja and ask him. He would know. My desktops are smoking fast and reboot in 9 seconds to 14.3 seconds.
I wouldn't look at your regular hardware as internal backups. There are advantages, but remember you have to have external storage. While other backup software does this, get a load of this:
Backup Assist will back up to your internal drive, then move that backup to an external or NAS drive. It leaves as many as you want. I leave three. Definitely quicker to restore or grab a file.
But, you are going to want to put things on other hard drives which don't require speed so you don't take up the SSDs/OS. You want that for the system drive and data only.
