See many of the mother boards support RAID on their SATA controllers. Is
it common for all these types of ports to also support non-RAID SATA
drives?
Yes. The only thing those controllers do to support RAID is see 2 drives as
one or write simultaneously (almost) to both drives, mirroring one or the
other. Other than that, they're simply SATA controllers. They differ quite a
bit to add-in RAID controllers that do RAID 5 and have their own processor
onboard to take care of the overhead.
