I have a Dell PowerEdge T320 with 4 SATA ports. Currently we have 3 HDDs in RAID 5 but I want to move over to a tiered storage approach. Have SATA ports 1-2 in RAID 1 for the OS and SATA ports 3-4 in RAID 1 for the DB.
I was wondering, can I migrate my current RAID 5 to RAID 1, and pull out the 3rd HDD? This way I can put in 2 new HDDs and setup a second RAID 1 for my DB.
Thanks!
