Migrate SAS RAID1 array to SSD H330 at R440
Hello,
I have a PowerEdge R440 server with two RAID 1 arrays on H330.
One of them based on 2x 600GB SAS disks is a system drive with MSSQL installed on it.
Another one is a 2x 1TB SATA drive used for data storage (not that important).
My goal is to transfer/clone all the data including OS and MSSQL from SAS drives SSD ones.
Should I use a cloning tool and clone the data to externally connected SSD drive, then take out SAS drives and try to boot the system up?
Will that even work?

Hello JamesN97,
I would recommend to backup data from the array you want to change to SSD drives.
Replace the drives and create a new array with the SSD drives, Install and restore data from backup.
We can see if anyone in the community has tried third party cloning tools and can share their experience.
