You can have just about any mix of drives in the server. Yes, you can add the disk.

Are you trying to build a RAID?

Thank you.
I am not trying to build a RAID for the moment. I just need more space for Sql Server database.

But if i want to build a raid, what do you think i should do ?

Does your ML370 have a SmartArray Controller?

If so, you build a logical array based upon the number of disks in the server. Here is a document you can review to give you ideas:
http://h200001.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00257511/c00257511.pdf

If your server does not have a hardware RAID controller and you have no plans to install one, then you may be able to build RAID into the server with the O/S managing the disks depending on the O/S. Most O/S flavors have some capability to make a RAID, so you will need to read up on the disk management you have.

Let me know if you need more help or reference? -john
