Your system must be screaming, you already have the Enterprise SSD disks and top Raid controllers available.
I have a similar 775 Enterprise SSD, but the older 5913 controller.

Curious on why your upgrading, unless you need more CPU and/or memory from the P9.

I assume if your keeping your disks intact and moving, you will not be using the CEC on your P9, unless your planning on adding SSD, correct.

Paul

I have more disk tied up in a single hotspare than some people have in their entire system. And you can see at the bottom how many hotspares we have. Clue: 4.7TB tied up in hotspares alone. But that's just one system...

We are keeping our existing SSD's.
We have two types.

And, thanks to this list, my hot spares are the last drive(s) on the strings and my load source is the first drive on a string.
