No, Drive Roaming is supported - each drive is tagged with information as to its position in any virtual disks ... this data is read from the drives by the controller on boot - it "should" not be an issue.
Greetings, We recently purchased a new T620 server and selected a pre configured option to have two RAID arrays using six 900GB disks.  The system that arrived has all six disks installed on the top level of the 16-drive 2.5" cage at the bottom of the tower.  The arrays were supposed to be configured as a two drive RAID-1 array for the OS install and a four drive RAID-5 array that I planned to use for all of our data. I have not yet booted the system for the first time but I am assuming that the RAID arrays were set up correctly by Dell.  My question is: Is it possible to physically MOVE the four disks that are a part of the RAID-5 array from the top level of the 16-drive cage to the lower level prior to booting the system without breaking the array or will I need to reconfigure the array if I am changing the drives physical locations on the backplane? Thanks in advance. ~Shawn
