Many low-end raid cards now offer Online Capacity Expansion (OCE) and Online Raid Level Migration (ORLM). This explains both.

Can I do OCE or ORLM on my Windows 7 software RAID to add disks and/or create more space on the logical drive?

No you'll have to backup the array, break it, and then add the disk to the array.

You can only extend simple and spanned dynamic volumes.
