This will be the third drive if that matters. I plan only to add the hard drive, but I'm not sure about your "existing disk controller" point. Is that something VMware is going to do as part of the add?
Here is the existing/planned layout:
Virtual Device Node
SCSI (0:0) Hard disk 1 <-- Existing for drive C:\
SCSI (0:1) Hard disk 2 <-- Existing for drive E:\
SCSI (0:2) Hard disk 3 <-- Planned for new drive F:\
Thanks for the reply
