Adding extra hard Drive

by arief . Updated 21 years, 8 months ago

My server storage is getting low. It is a proliant LM370 configured for RAID5. With 4 (36.4gb wide pluggable ultra3 15k drive) with smart Array 5i plus controller. The drives are configured volume c: (operating system 4gb) and E: data (97.8gb) both are dynamic. The operating system is windows 2000.
I have two empty bays. Could I add extra hard drive and increase the volume? I?m getting confused here. Some articles say it could be done and some say you can not make a stripe set bigger or extend it to another disk. I have not deal with this issue before, any help would be appreciated. How to is even better.
