If you have a Raid 5 with say 4 drives in the array. Can you at a later date add 2 more drives to the array without starting from scratch?
 
generally speaking no
some cards can support dynamic addition however
youd need to check the documentation, but typically they are astronomically priced
 
Depends on the card. All my RAID cards support expansion, but they're business class SCSI cards.
