Hello, I have a client with a PowerEdge R220. It's currently configured with a pair of 500GB SATA drives attached to the embedded controller (S110). I'd like to know if it's possible to install a PERC H710 into this model and reconfigure the two drives into a RAID 1 array. If so, which PERC H710 is recommended and which cables will I need assuming two drives and no backplane?
Another question. If I install the PERC controller card into the R220 and install the appropriate H710 drivers into the existing Windows Server 2012 R2 installation, can I then create the RAID 1 array and image the existing drives to the new RAID array or does this process require a complete reinstall of Windows Server?
Thank you for your time and assistance,
R
