RAID 5 Question

[SLPFirehawk]

I have a server at work that has RAID 5 setup. Right now it consists of 3 SCSI 9GB Seagate 10k HDD. I am needing to add some more hard drives for storage. Am I correct in assuming I can only add the same 9GB HDD to this RAID setup?

Depends on the controller. For simplicity's sake, you're always better off using the same drives. If you choose anything larger tha 9GB, only 9GB will be used, so obviously it is recommended you get the same size if nothing else so you don't waste money on capacity you can't use.
