Your existing discs will be in RAID 0 configuration - so remember you will not be able to read from them externally. Use something like Acronis to save your data to an external drive. I would also make several copies of the Recovery Media and test that it works first.

The Recovery Discs will allow you to reinstall the original Operating System - and even allow you to choose RAID 0, RAID 1 or two seperate discs.
