Moving from HDD to SSD via Raid Rebuild

Dear all,

we are running a Poweredge R360 with an integrated PERC355 Raid Controller having 2x 600GB HDDs running Raid1.

We are planning to switch to SSDs here, and have wondered if this Controller actually supports HDD/SSD mix?

It would be really cool if we could just change 1 HDD to SSD, have it rebuild and then change the 2nd HDD so SSD and rebuild.

Will this be possible? 

If not, maybe I could add the 2 SSDs to a second Raid1 Array and clone the HDD Array To the SSDs? 

I really dont want to reinstall the whole thing from scratch :D

Thank you for your suggestions

Regards

Stephan

This will not work because within a PERC a diskgroup cant be created with different types of "disks".  So youre not allowed to mix SSD and HDD together within the same diskgroup.

So.. backup and restore would be the way. Think about the old days  when dealing with Acronis Imaging or similar.

Joerg
