A second SATA card?

Hi guys...I am looking for some advice.
I currently have a server that is setup with a Single SATA raid card and two SATA 80GB drives in RAID 1.
I want to add two additional SATA drives in a RAID 1 configuration for more storage space. Can I add a second SATA RAID card and if so, how do I still keep the system booting from the first set of SATA drives?

Thanks
 
Raid-1 does not add storage space. You should be able to set up a second SATA card as another single drive with a mirror. You can set the boot order in your BIOS. If your mobo already has four SATA connectors, you might be able to set up a 2-drive JBOD along with a 2-drive mirror w/o an add-on card.
