Running SuSE 9.3. PERC3-DCL-64 RAID controller. 2 of 3 drives 
mirrored, 1 standalone.

What are the tradeoffs between replacing the 3 current 36 GB disks 
with larger ones, and adding an external drive/array? I see that 
there is a SCSI interface on the back panel, but I've not found any 
information as to whether it can be used.

Adding external storage would be the least disruptive, operationally, 
but I think more expensive than replacing the internal disks if the 
add-on enclosure is rack-mountable.

All observations welcome.

Thanks,
