Hi,
Newbie here so pre-apologies provided. I currently have a pair of Seagate ST3500418AS 500GB SATA HDDs in my system and one of them has died. (Intel Matrix Storage Manager 8.5 tells me) Replacement ST3500418AS's are very hard to find.
Can I replace the dead one (followed by the still live but dated one) with a new pair of Seagate ST500DM002 SATA III 500GB Drives?
I presume by removing the failed drive and replacing it with a new drive, then after RAID Volume Repair is completed, swapping out the second old ST3500418AS and completing a second RAID Volume Repair?
