I have 2 raptors 150 gb in raid 0 currently for the last 2 years. I want to add a single Velociraptor for extra storage and games. Ive always had raid 0 combonations in my systems and never had any additional drives added. Can I just format the velociraptor and use it with my Raid 0 raptors and it be seen as just a second hard drive or is there a better way to set it up. I thought about buying 2 velociraptors and replacing my reg raptors in raid but i just cant do it just yet. Whats my best option and how. Thanks for any input.

You could do that, but RAIDing dissimilar drives isn't the greatest idea. I'd use it as a separate volume for now.
