500GB is probably enough to setup a dual boot OS on two partitions, and have a third drive to store either virtual copies of all your software and drivers, or an image of your completely installed system.

In my case, I don't usually bother with any of that. I can download current versions of Windows, Office, and my licensed programs at the cost of a few minutes apiece.

Also, these days the chances of your SSD failing before you simply want to upgrade your system is extremely small. Probably the only way you can kill it is with a nasty power spike. Your big hard drives on the other hand-- I've hand PLENTY of hard drives fail, and lost important data from them.
