RAID 0 Recovery on R740: Relocate Drive to New Slot?
Server: Dell PowerEdge R740, PERC H740P
Issue: RAID 0 (2 drives) degraded after one drive stopped detecting due to damaged SAS slot. Drive confirmed functional in another system.
Ask:
Can I move the drive to a new slot (same/different bay) and import it back into the original RAID 0 without data loss?Will PERC recognize it via foreign config?
Steps to force reassignment?
Critical: No backups. Need to recover VMs urgently.
No Events found!

As for your question
Can I move the drive to a new slot (same/different bay) and import it back into the original RAID 0 without data loss?
No one can guarantee the data safety.
You still can try foreign import, but again, nothing is guaranteed.
