You want to divide 250 SSD into two. Please first decide the size for both Windows and Ubuntu. Let us say 150 GB Windows and 100 GB for Ubuntu. Your 1 TB HDD with NTFS partition can be shared between Windows and Ubuntu. As 1 TB HDD is NTFS file system, this can be directly accessible to windows whereas Ubuntu needs them mounted in order to access. Also, you may want to 2 or 3 partitions on 1 TB HDD.

Fine, you can carve out a partition in 1 TB hard disk and go ahead and install Ubuntu. You may also have two or three partition with NTFS file system on the same 1 TB hard disk. You may refer my detailed answer in this post Dual Boot Windows 10 and Linux Ubuntu on Separate SSD. Good luck!

- There is no problem in that.
You can do that by:
- Fresh install of Windows on SSD.
- Shrink the Windows partitio and copy the Windows Partitions on SSD, either with dd command or clonezilla
Important: If copying
1. Backup your data
2. Read the tutorials.
3. Sum of all the windows partitions should be less than SSD size.
4. Keep the SSD as second disk so that the Windows does not overwrite the Ubuntu bootloader.
