Since you put this in the SBS Server zone, I'm assuming your server came with SBS 2003 pre-installed.<br />
<br />
Generally, these servers came with a RAID controller and SCSI drives, but your configuration may vary<br />
<br />
You can go to support.dell.com and enter your server tag and determine what the original configuration of your server was.<br />
<br />
Or you can go to device manager and see what kind of hard drives and controller you have.<br />
<br />
If this is indeed SCSI drives, you're going to find storage is expensive &nbsp; I just checked and a 73GB SCSI drive is 100.00<br />
<br />
But you don't say how many drives you have in the server and how much more space you need.

If this is indeed SCSI drives, you're going to find storage is expensive   I just checked and a 73GB SCSI drive is 100.00

I have a Dell Poweredge 2800 and I'd to add more hard drives, for what I can see there are currently 3 loaded but I'm not entire sure what configuration they're setup in. What hard drives to would be best and how would I go about setting them up?

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
