Hi,
Can I replace my H700 in my R510 with a LSI RAID card?
I need an Internal and External connector.
We have a R510 (H700 RAID card) and will be purchasing a MD1200 (H800), and we'd like to utilize the existing 12 bays in the R510 as well as the 12 in the MD1200 to expand the current arrays.
Dell does not have a card with external and internal connector, so I'm looking into other options that I can hopefully swap out and it will import arrays automatically or easily. My understanding is that Dell RAID cards are based on LSI, so would they be my best bet?
My other option is to Purchase a H800 for the R510 to connect to the MD1200 and move one array (physically move disks) to the MD1200. So have one array on each controller.
Open to any advice too.
Cheers
