PowerEdge 1950 Hard Drive

Question

Hello, I have a Dell PowerEdge 1950 configured with 2 hot swappable HDs (each 750GB). I need to expand the available storage to this box and I want to know what my options are. I know that there is an optional SAS daughter card that i can purchase that would allow me to add 2 internal HDs; if this is the case, then how big can these HDs be? (i.e. what is the maximum storage that can be configured on a 1950)? I kindly appreciate any help that can be provided. Thanks

If you're using 2.5' disks then there should be two extra bays; however my understanding is that the system can only support two 3.5' disks.  Sorry, but I don't know about the SAS daughter card.

yes, i am using the 3.5' disks so there is only room for those two; i guess that is it then. I appreciate your help.
