you dont have to use raid if you dont want to. as long as you have connections for ide and sata drives you can put both types in at the same time
just as an example:
in my pc i have
1 x SATA 74 GB raptor for win and games
2 x SATA 400GB in Raid 1 for mass storage
1 x IDE 160 GB movies
1 x IDE 120 GB music, images, and ISOs
2 x IDE DVD-RAM burners
EDIT: All except the 2x 400GBs are non-raided

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
