PE 2800 ADDING SCSI DRIVE

I recently purchased a PE 2800  w/ PERC4 Embedded RAID 1x8 Hot plug SCSI backplane with 2 - 73GB drives.  RAID 1 config.
1. Can I add a drive and use it seperate from the RAID?
2. If so what HD drives can I use?  If not what are my options?

You can add a drive and use the raid controller to make it a new container. If you will just be using a single disk, make it a single-disk raid-0 container.

You'd want to get an SCA (80-pin hotpluggable) connectored U320 drive. The spindle speed is up to you (mainly your budget and availability).
