That's quite an odd asymmetric RAID setup if you really mean both drives
are in the RAID0.

Any way to put in the new drive without disturbing the RAID, copy data
to it, then remove the RAID setup? If you try to remove a disk from
RAID0 you will lose it all - no redundancy in RAID0.

That's possible, but you may have problems with file ownership and
permissions if you just copy files. I'd use a tar or cpio archive on
the Windows storage. Could then be restored to Linux, either as an
additional backup, or as an alternative to having all 3 drives on-line
as outlined above.
