I am a newbie here, but I have been studying the forum for days.
I am determined to make (4) 4TB drives function in my Poweredge 840. I understand that the PERC 5/i controller is not going to do the job. My question is this: Is there any controller card I could buy that would work with the motherboard and do this? Is there any modification I can make to the system that would allow me to use the OEM motherboard?
Just in case someone knows and is willing to share their information, I have one more questions.
Can you recommend replacement equipment that will do the job? I would at least like to use my dual core Xeon processor in an lga775 socket. I've got the money, just not the knowledge. I am having a terrible time finding out the maximum drive size of the various RAID cards.
Can I add a UEFI to my PE 840?
Thanks in advance!!
