This may be a newb question, but I've never actually done this and I was wondering if anybody had any experience doing this. I currently have a poweredge R610 Server with the OS on a 2 Drive / Raid 1 Config and Data on a 3 Drive Raid 5 Config. I would like to be able to replace the standard 2.5 inch 7.2K platter drives with 500 GB SSD Drives. Can I do a normal remove / re silver the platter drives with SSD's or will this require me to completely reformat the server and rebuild with the new drives. I would like to be able to keep all data and apps exactly like they are.
Thanks
