You can add a new raid device with mdadm tool, after the partion of the 
two disk.

I suggest to make a backup copy of the data into the old raid devices.

If you dont know the mdadm tool, the man page is very exaustive, or ask 
here :)

Check the bios for the correctly boot sequence, after you plug the power 
into the raid devices.
