DL580 G2: IDE Harddrive or any other solution
I have a DL580 G2 server and it has 4 hard disks in iSCSI Controller. I need to add more space to it. I am wondering if I can add an internal disk like 500GB Western Digital?
If this isn't possible, any other way of adding more disk space to it rather than upgrading 4 scsi drives ? I know performance will not be so great as SCSI drives but I need some cheap disk space to have installers and dumps.
Thanks a ton!!!

If the cdrom player in a dl580 g2 is still a full size cd player you might be able to mount an harddisk in it's place using a few backets.
But hooking up an sata disk to an esata controller might be a better sollution.

Re: DL580 G2: IDE Harddrive or any other solution
I would look for an external solution. An external disk enclosure or disk pack with SAS, SATA, eSATA USB or SCSI interfaces. You would need to verify support for the specific interface in the server hardware and in the OS that you are running.
I would look for a USB solution first. It requires only a USB disk pack and USB support in the server environment.
Next I would look in to an eSATA solution. You would need an eSATA disk pack and an eSATA controller. The server has PCI-X 100MHz expansion slots and there are controllers available.
Officially HP supports SCSI controllers with external connectors, http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11372_ca/11372_ca.HTML
