I am hoping this is the right place to ask, if not please point me in
the correct direction.

I am currently running a Windows 2003 server and WSS 3.0. Honeslty I
can't remember how big the current Hard Drive config is, but that is
irrelevant. I have to add 100 GB of data to the site and I don't have
that much room. What is the best practices for doing this. Should I
purchase another server and set up a portal? Set up a NAS device, and
get WSS to use that drive? I need some help here please.

Thanks in advance.

The place where content is stored is the content database is stored. So
the answer lies with SQL Server.

I present you at present have a single-server solution. (running Windows
Internal Database ?)

The best way to slay two things with one stone - i.e. to both give
yourself more disk space and also speed up your system, would therefore
seem to be to add a server running SQL Server 2005 and transfer your
present databases to it.

That server would have much more space AND you will now have an
efficient front-end WSS + back-end SQL Server system
