No, RAID 10 requires at least four drives.

 

No, you're better off using a software that will automatically copy the SSDs in RAID0 to the hard drive. RAID 10 with one span of SSDs and one span of HDDs will result in reduced speeds because it will be bottlenecked by the hard drive. It's also recommended to use all of the same drives in any RAID.

 

No, you don't need a RAID card / shouldn't use one in this situation.
