I have an IBM X365 that is sitting in a corner. It has the same size drives as the IBM X365 that has a failed drive. Both have Raid 5. Can I pull drive from the one sitting in the corner and install to replace the failed drive? I don't want the data from the old one I want it to replace the dead one.

short answer - yes. as long as the drive is the same size and geometry. the fact that it was in a previous RAID array doesn't matter.

Thank you that is what I was hoping the answer would be. They are the exact same drives in both servers. Just need to keep this one going for a little while longer – Anne Aug 07 '14 at 09:57
