HI, I inherited a Dell 2450 server with NT Server NOS. The documentation says it has (3) 18gb drives configured in a Raid 5. How can I confirm this? I'm only seeing about 36 gb of space. With (3) 18gb shouldn't there be 54gb?

Thanks

Sounds like it is configured correctly for RAID 5. You will lose the space of 1 drive for the parity stripes (plus a litte for the RAID overhead) when running RAID 5. So approximately 36GB is what you should have.
