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.
