Hi

Only one hard drive? Would ask redundancy.

Buying another server would involve cost and additional configuration.
Adding hard drive would be easier. Possibly bigger hard drive, mirror it
then move bigger hard drive to main then put in another exact same hard
drive as new to mirror.

Of course RAID 5 would be preferable (oops...some may argue this) but again
time constaints and configuration issues)
