Raid 1 to Raid 0 (Or even Non-RAID) SR #

I have a power edge t110 ii server currently running RAID 1 with two identical 1 TB HDDs but I needed more space for newer applications so looking for my options from the experts.

1) Break RAID 1 and Create RAID 0 - Could you please tell me how I can acheive this?

2) Break RAID 1 and go non-RAID? Is this an option?

3) Buy more HDDs  - Can I add them to the RAID 1 mix or Create RAID 0 and add to mix? ( I have two slots left on the server)

4) Any other viable option?

P.S, I have installed Open Manage tool but can't see any options under "Available Tasks" to offline physical hard disk or to do any other operations.

Thank you in advance!

Sorry if you find my other post with the same question - I can't find it anywhere so I'm posting it again.

I have power edge t100 ii server running on RAID 1 with two 1 TB HDDs. As I'm running out of space I am thinking of utilizing the second HDD as well so I can get additional 1 TB of space.

How can I break the RAID config from 1 to 0 or even go non RAID (If I want to)?

Could you please walk me through as I am new to this HDD/RAID stuff?

Page 123 of the storage management user's guide covers virtual disk migration:
