Proliant ML350 G3 Out of Disk Space
Can I remove one of the 146 Gigs Drive and replace it with a 300 Gigs, one regenerated do the same for the others on the Raid 5?
What's the best way in your opinion?
Thanks in advance for all your help.

Yes, you can !
After you replace last fourth drive you need to use diskpart utility to extend you data volume

It is good idea to update SmartArray firmware and Proliant support pack to last versions before you start.
The second option:
Buy ML3xx Two Bay Hot Plug SCSI Drive Cage and you can install two additional 140 Gb drives and extend your RAID-5.
IMHO, first option is preferable.

Re: Proliant ML350 G3 Out of Disk Space
I want to add several words about Exchange space:
>>There was 410 Gigs of space, a year later from the initial setup it's left to 173 gigs
IMHO, it is NOT normal situation!
Do you use mailbox limits?
Do you use some type of Exchange archiving software ? (for example
ZANTAZ or IXOS ?)
We have 5 Exchange 2003 servers in our organization and information store (IS) of the largest server is about 30 Gb only (300+ users on this server and we use this IS already 7 years, from Exchange 5.5) We use strict mailbox limits and message limits and we think about ZANTAZ solution implementation.

Re: Proliant ML350 G3 Out of Disk Space
I think there is no simple answer here.
You need to check general Exchange server performance (CPU, memory,...), concurrent users number, SMTP throughput, ....
You can check it with some types of exchange monitoring software (we use Microsoft MOM for example)
If you don't have performance problems with exchange you can use even 6 * 300 Gb drives in RAID-5 (by using ML3xx Two Bay Hot Plug SCSI Drive Cage) - 1500 Gb disk space.
The only problem you may have is backup time/disaster recovery time.
Shortly, I think you do not need to add another exchange server to distribute the mailboxes only because disk space, but probably you will need to do it because general exchange performance issues.
