Yes, the only requirement is that the controller is recognized if you
are adding an additional controller. However, Raid-1 normally means
paired, mirrored partitions, so in this configuration you would be
adding 3 new mount points, not additional contiguous space. There are
advantages to this approach if you can control the paths used for
storage - for example, you can recover data from any single disk.
