Of course, you can have one drive in your system which is a RAID, and one
which is not. I would sort of expect that it is possible to add more
disk to a RAID as well, but maybe there has to be room for them in
the cabinet. (I'm really outside my field of expertise here.)

What RAID configuration do you use? The recommended for SQL Server is
RAID1+0.
