We have a Compaq Proliant ML330e server here that we want to use as a dedicated backup server, probably running two 500GB drives in RAID 0 (don't need to worry about redundancy as the cost would skyrocket if we focussed on that). The system disk would be a 33.6GB 10000RPM Seagate SCSI disk.

However, it has come to my attention that it's highly likely that the server won't support drives of such a large size. My question is, can anyone confirm whether it will or not?

The server is a Pentium 3 800MHz model with 320MB of ECC RAM. The HP site only seems to list information for the last ML330e which was much later than this one.
