Thanks, Dennis.

I just did a quick mental calc....He needed (at least 1TB == about 1024GB) hence my suggestion, after seeing the server has 6 drive bays. RAID 5 gives the best redundancy (though isn't the best performance-wise) but performance was beyond the scope of the requirement of the OP at the moment:-)

He can G-Panga with the actual figures, not the mental ones.

Wash, 

Also consider if you are looking at total array space or usable space. 

You can use this.

I intend to upgrade this server to atleast 1TB of HDD space. What options do i have?

Ideas about the cost?

RAID5+1 spare.

6x250GB HDD (or maybe 300GB HDD).

Call Sight & Sound (or any  HP vendor) for quotes on the HDD. Sight & Sound is 374 6078 / 375 1308 (off the top of my head). The others you can dig from Yellow Pages.

What happened to @Alvin Jason Ochieng?? Did he join elective politics?
