Just ensure the SATA controller is set to AHCI mode and not IDE mode.

I'm not sure of what you are asking. Unless you are periodically cloning the SSD onto the HDD, the OS on the HDD won't be a replica of the SSD, but simply a place from which you can restore the SSD should something happen to it.
I believe, and the hard drive/data recovery gurus should weigh in here, that you would need to periodically mirror the SSD onto the HDD (or a partition of it), say once a week, for the HDD to be a clone copy of the SSD's OS and files.
You might need to partition the HDD and use one for a clone copy of the OS, and the second for personal files/documents.
