Can anyone else confirm ?<br />
<br />
Will it be visible ? &nbsp;What will the resulting file / folder permissions be retained ?

Dlethe or anyone RE: the controller -<br />
<br />
If the controller is OK would I be able to install the card on the new server ?<br />
<br />
If the controller was a the same model REPLACEMENT from Dell, do you believe the RAID partition would be accessible / intact on the new server ?

Hi all,<br />
<br />
Pretty straight forward question -<br />
<br />
If my server dies (Server 2008R2), can I simply plug my DAS [Dell PowerEdge1200 DAS Storage] &nbsp;into a newly created server [with host controller] and expect my flat file data storage to be visible ?<br />
<br />
Also, if the new server is domain joined, what will the resulting folder / file permissions be ? &nbsp;Will permissions need to be reconfigured ?

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
