R720 split backplane / dual RAID option

Hi, were a small business that needs to replace a five year old PowerEdge 2950 server with a newer machine. Buying a server is a big deal for us, and I do not want to spend on components now if I don't have to. My question relates specifically to storage, I have read around the R720 documentation, but cannot find the answer to my question: by ordering the R720 with the 2.5" Chassis and up to 8 + 8 Hard Drives and 2 Controllers, does this allow me to fill half the storage slots with disks now, (I intend to run VM's on them), and then in future when the storage on the original disks is used up, fill the remaining storage slots with more disks (with the intention of running different VM's on the new disks). Basically, can I stagger adding storage to the R720 in this configuration.

Cheers,

Daniel
