Hello
I have an DL180gen9 with the integrated Smart Array b140i Software RAID Controller.
I have 5 x 4TB SATA Disks in one big Array (RAID 5), with two Partitions (one with 100GB for the System, the rest is for Data from our Backups).
As this controller is not capable of expanding (which is what I need) an existing Array I'm searching for an alternative.
My question ist now:
- Can I upgrade my DL180gen to the P440/4GB (726821-B21) or P440/2GB (820834-B21)?
- Can I do this upgrade and migrate the existing Array from the B140i to the new Controller without Data loss, even if the System C:/ (Boot Partition) is in the same Array? Will the System be still be bootable in UEFI Mode as it is now?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in Advance,
Stefan
