Increasing Hard Drive space by adding extra drive- possible?

Hi all,

 

There maybe an answer to this already but as I am not sure what the correct terminology is I am not sure what to look for. I am new to the hardware side of things. Basically, I am working on a project on my own in the company and am not able to involve anyone else so am having to learn hardware as I go.

 

I have a proliant G5 server for my machine which is great. I took it from the store room and it only has 2 * 140 GB in raid 1 for HDD. I have set up a 5 machine cluster in Virtualbox and all is great, however I need to up the storeage on the server to then share it out amoungst the virtual machines.

 

My question is, is there a way I can add another HDD to work as increased capacity on the orginal HDD as far as the machine is concerned? EG If I add a 120GB to the existing 140GB to make one drive of 260GB as far as the machine is concerned.

 

As I am new to all this I thought I would ask before looking at starting again with a larger HDD.

 

Thanks. Ben.
