I have a Dell Poweredge R730XD with 24 x 1.2tb ST1200MM0088 (2.5, SAS 12Gbp 10K) disks in multiple raid 5 partitions.
One disk has failed - I have a brand new ST1200MM0099 disk available to replace the faulty drive. This appears to be the same size and specification? My question is if I hot swap the faulty ST1200MM0088 disk with the ST1200MM0099 will the system fail? What will the difference in performance be? (slowdown?)
Thanks, Tony
