SolutionFrom the User Manual; The HP NetServer E Series chassis contains six mass-storage shelves. The front four shelves (shelves 1├в 4) allow for the installation of a 3.5" flexible disk drive and three 3.5" or 5.25" mass storage devices. The rear shelves (shelves 5 and 6)allow for the installation of two 3.5" mass storage devices.
First, the USB drive suggestion I would not consider. The BIOS and probably the OS would not likely support such a device even if you could get a USB card installed.
I would suggest opening up the unit and verify the physical drive or drives that are installed. FYI there would be only a few limitations on the addition of a new drive to provide additional space. A new IDE might be limited by the IDE controller to 40GB. But I would assume that the machine is using an Adaptec SCSI controller and has 3- 4GB drives to give the 13GBs. A new SCSI drive may or may not have limitations because these old units uses Single Ended SCSI or SE mode. Modern drives can communicate on a SE bus, but the controller may not install them during BIOS boot, therefore though you could add any new 36, 72GB 68pin SCSI drive currently avaiable and it may be accessable by the controller, it would be more sure to install a drive that is able to be forced to SE bus mode. We have a few of these 68pin drives in stock. 18 and 36GB or could point you in the right direction to purchase one.

Re: Netserver E30
HP shows the the E30 could have been configured with a 10-Mbit lan card, J297xA or a 10/100 lan card, J25xxX. Of course you can replace the HUB anyway with a switch and you would get some increase in access speed, even if the server card wa sonly 10Mbit. You also could easily replace any 10Mbit cards with 10/100, they are cheap.
I will look at what we currently have for 68pin SCSI SE forcable drives, but the parts we list that are usable are at http://e4services.net/cotrdr.html
