This is fairly common in the older units. the problem is the power 
supply. The earliest units had a power supply that's not powerful 
enough to supply power to drives larger than the 1gb 5400RPM ones it 
originally came with. The later units had stronger power supplies, so 
if you can find one of the later power supplies you'll be much better 
off. It's possible that if you remove some of the drives in the unit 
that it will work with the existing ps, but it might be fried already.
