The problem is that it's all RAID storage so it's secure, but you need extra drives that don't count and the drives we have, (SCSI) are expensive. After the migration, we've got 132G free on the new server and 541G on the main server. The db server is the problem eventually as it's only got 33G free and also serves as a backup for the other servers. That backup also goes to an offsite drive, etc. The db server is also now the oldest and should be replaced in the next year or so, which would allow us to use ut as a slave db server which would be great and solve alot of db backup issues.
BTW: RAID with hot swap is cool. I have a box of drives for the servers. Recently, the db server had a failure and I didn't have a replacement drive. I bought 3 new ones and it hung in there for the few days to get a new drive. Now, we're got spares. Just pull out the bad drive and away you go.
