If you really want to do it without reinstalling, and I don't recommend it, you could remove the second SSD from the array using mdadm and just run with a permanently degraded array. You could then format second SSD and mount it wherever you want.
Just remember that if this is a mission critical server, you're going to be vulnerable to disk failure and the resulting data loss.

@Niel So, how do I use the second SSD? I am being told I can use 92GB in my /home directory.
I want to use the other disk in /mnt/ssd2 without having to reformat anything.

Hi, I'm having some issues mounting the second SSD to /mnt/drive2.
Can someone please help me out here? It would be much appreciated.
