possibly, it's an old Dell Power Edge 1900 and I haven't looked inside 
in 5 years or so.........planning to open it up on Thursday.

it says this is there:

02:0e.0 RAID bus controller: Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID controller 5

/dev/sda1       461G   11G  428G   3% /
/dev/sdb1       458G   51G  385G  12% /var/www

I pretty sure these are the only 2 internal disks.........and
the Dell support won't talk to me w/o $$

I really need to add a couple of 2-3 TB disks on this system and am 
looking for a reasonable solution.


thx  Philo
