[QUOTE="eetaylog, post: 323092, member: 47491"] thanks for that. im pretty sure its a software based card as the bootup screen displays 4 harddrives briefly when i switch the server on. so youre saying that its actually pretty pointless adding different (larger) disks to an already existing RAID5, if for example one of the disks dies, as you dont actually get to use the extra space anyway? one last question regarding PSU's... with my current setup, all my PSU connectors are being used, leaving no room for expansion. how do people manage to power larger numbers of HDD's?? ive seen server setups with anything up to around 12 disks! surely you cant just add more PSU's because the computer has to have common ground doesnt it?
