Hi,
I have an old server at work that has a 3 hard drive raid array and one of the hard drives has failed. They are hot swappable, so the server is still running. If I get another hard drive exactly the same and just put it in, will it automatically rebuild the raid?
Hard drive specs
Hitachi Ultrastar
Model IC35L036VCDY10-0
80P ULTRA320 SCSI DRIVE
36GB
10000RPM
P/N 08K0382
mlc DY0S27Q
I have found this site that matches the model number but the parts are IBM

I can't find anywhere else in the UK that will stock such an old HDD... will the IBM part be compatible with my other 2 hard drives.
I'm trying to hold out until SSD's can be in a raid with Trim before I upgrade this old server, because at the moment it serves our needs.
Is it better to just get three new hard drives and make a new raid array?
Thanks for any help you can give me.
