Different sized hard drives in Dell 2950

Hi Folks, just a very basic question -  is it possible to have (2 x 100GB HD - in RAID 1) and (1 x 1TB HD - Standalone) in 2950?

When I installed Vmware ESXi 5.1 on RAID 1 partition; the 1TB disk was not present. I have just now added 1TB disk for extra storage but its not visible to ESXi. Do you have any idea why this could be happening?

Thanks!

The PERC does not support non-RAID, so in order to use a "standalone" drive, you have to configure it as a single-disk RAID 0.
