The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Convert RAID 0 to RAID 10 - Perc5/i

Asked by moruda in Computer Hard Drives, Storage Technology, Computer Servers

We're planning on doing a drive upgrade on our server (DELL 2950 - Perc5/i)
We currently have 4x36gb Hard Drives RAID 10
Our goal is to upgrade to 4x300gb Hard Drives RAID 10

Is this scenario possible?
1) Change the RAID 10 to RAID 0 on 2 drives
2) Swap out the other 2 drives for new ones
3) Make new drives a RAID 0 array
4) Clone the data to those 2 new drives
5) Swap out 2 remaining old drives for new ones
6) Convert RAID 0 array to RAID 10 with 4 new drives

We do NOT want to do an OS reinstall....
This seems like the best way to deal with it -- is it possible?
