RE: Could one use one of those USB memories ...

I have SATA RAID 0 on the main system and the second uses normal SATA.

When you install Windows you have the option to create partitions - create a small partition of 2500MB (2.5GB) for system installation. This becomes your C drive which contains Windows and all other software. From Windows (disk manager), you then create and format another NTFS partition for the remaining space on the HDD. This new partition becomes drive D which would contain all your music. Additional HDDs will have new drive letters.

The advantage of doing this is you can do as many system reinstalls without affecting content in other drives. That is music data is unaffected.
