No to create a RAID array the drive will have to be formatted.

first off this is a question made simply out of curiosity and I'm not planning to do this. I was watching the tek and they mentioned RAID0 and it got me thinking can you add a HDD to create a RAID0 array if the other drive already has pre-existing data on it, I'm leaning towards the no, but I have never setup a RAID before so I have nothing to base this off

You can but backup you're data before doing so as it formats the drive. :)

I'm not going to do this, because right now I have a 32gb SSD cache, and I'm happy with it
