It's 4 x 36GB HDs. It's a fully working box (I saw it in situ: a friend deals in with taking away servers from data centres when they upgrade). I set up the bios correctly then used iLO to get Squeeze running RAID 1 over two disks of the disks & I'll take it further from there. This is my first foray into server technology so thanks for all the advice.
