One of my HDDs in my raid5 array finally failed on me.
The original drives I had were:
3x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 [ST-3500630AS] - 500Gb
Since they are pretty old, I'm having trouble getting hold of another one with the same model number. However, Seagate do have a newer 500gb drive out called the Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 [ST3500418AS]
My question is: would it be possible to use the newer Seagate 500gb drive to replace my failed old drive and rebuild the raid5 array?
Cheers
