RAID controller on MB also support non-RAID ??
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?

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.

Yes......... single drive use......... or two drives as singles.
Also called JBOD. So basically on most you must pretend you're setting up a raid & then set the type as JBOD.

It allows you to choose with the drive is available for use in a RAID array or it is available only as an IDE device. If a drive is set up as non RAID, there is no further setup.
