Default Max storage on Proliant 7000?

What's the maximum internal storage I can have in a 7000? I've seen the
original literature that said something like 18 x 18GB drives for 324MB,
but is there anything, say, stopping me from getting (for example) 72GB
drives, putting them in the caddies and having a RAID 5 array of 350MB
or so that way?

I have a spare 7000 which I'm thinking about turning into a file
server/mail server.

you should be able to go with 73GB drives, but your real limitation will be
the array controller. Those have an SA4350, 3 channel quasai-integrated
controller and i dont have any recent hands-on time with those. But, it
should work.
