Yes you can Larry however there are a few things to keep in mind...

1) The disk drives must be of the same size otherwise the larger of the
drive will only be as big in capacity as the smaller drive

2) HP recommends that the firmware be identical on the partner drive. This
is only a recommendation as it will work if not same.

3) The master drive should be assigned the higher priority SCSI id. The
polling priority is 7,6,5,4,3,2.....

4) You cannot mirror the system volume set

As for the cost, check with your local HP VAR.
