Hi,
I've bough an old, but powerfull for my needs, PowerEdge server.
Currently all the harddisk tray are used and configured in RAID-5;
7 x 73gb + 1 x 300gb
I would like to remove 2 x73gb disk and in the free tray, put some 2tb 5400rpm Sata disk which are cheaper than SAS drive.
So, at the end, I would like to have tray 1 to 6 in RAID-5...and tray 7 and 8 "independant", both containing a 2tb drive. I want to use those drive to put media files, which I don't care to have those in RAID mode.
Is that possible ? will this be functionnal ?
thanks
