Good day,

I have a poweredge 2900 that finally has died.

We would like to try and maintain the internal RAID5 (8x750GB) but the system board/chassis is dead. 

On idea was to move the disks and the PERC adapter to an MD1000 that we have 8 slots available.

Any idea on if this would be feasible. I.E. physically move drives 1-8 to the MD1000 and move the PERC adapter into the host machine.

Looking at the logs, all was well with the drives and Perc prior to the crash.

Second option would be buy a used PE 2900 and move the drives & controller to that. But this would be as a last resort

Thanks for any insight.
