Power Users

I currently have a single disk in my computer, containing the boot partition, as well as all my data. I also have one or more secondary disks that I'd like to insert into the motherboard (either NVMe M.2 or SATA). These already contain data that I'd like to keep and have accessible from my user account on the computer. I even copied data onto one of them beforehand, as that was the fastest way to transfer it from an older computer. Is it safe for me to simply connect these to the motherboard, and start up the computer afterwards, or do I risk that one or more of them (including the boot disk) may get erased or overwritten, perhaps due to a RAID configuration?
