    I have the HP ex-470 I have expanded it with 4x1 terabite drives.  I have my multimedia collection on the server, around 3 terabites, and backupsf rom 4 computers.  I have expanded the storage with an addonics 5 drive Esata bay.  It only reconizes 4 of the five drives.  On my desktop PC with the bay hooked up it reconized all 5 drives.  Is there a drive limit to WHS?

    There is no drive limit as you're thinking of it; you can install as many drives as will fit (or as you can connect). However, the SATA controller that drives the eSATA port on the HP units only recognizes 4 drives.
