That's difficult indeed. Grub will be installed in the MBR of the first disk and as far as I know will need its files to be on the same disk - in a FAT32, ext2/3/4, xfs, jfs, ... (not NTFS) partition.
Having Arch on the first BIOS disk including grub is probably easier, but you have to do some magic device-swapping in Windows' grub entry, which will otherwise refuse to start. I don't exactly remember the details.
Do you think I should physically swap the hard disk locations? Such as put Windows on the second SATA port and Arch on the first SATA port? Thanks.
Swapping the boot device order in BIOS will do the same.
