SSD's, while general support was added to the PERC 6/i controller (which you appear to have), were never supported by Dell on the 1950, which is probably why nobody knew what to tell you.  Basically ... you are on your own.  If you don't use disks certified for the PERC 6, then you may have several issues with them, but using third-party enterprise disks, you might be ok ... however, there is the possibility that the status lights on the disks will not work as expected (always amber, showing disk failure, while still online). You will also need to do a backup/restore ... you won't be able to replace them one at a time, rebuilding each one ... SSD and HDD cannot be mixed in an array.
Hi, I want to upgrade HDD of my PowerEdge 1959 to SSD, I want to use an enterprise level SSD in my server. After talking and chatting with Dell support I got nowhere! Apparently they are not very familiar with this subject. I looked online and found out about Kingston SSDNow Enterprise SSD 400GB, how can I make sure its compatible with my server configuration, please keep in mind that I want to REPLACE the current drives with new SSD. Current config: XX517 2 HARD DRIVE..., 450G, SERIAL ATTACHED SCSI..., DU, 15K, HITACHI..., VIP-B+
