How do I choose a replacement hard drive for my server?

Match the interface (SAS or SATA), the size (2.5-inch or 3.5-inch), the capacity and the spindle speed of the drive you are replacing. Server drives usually sit in a tray made for that server range, so the manufacturer's part number on the drive label is the surest match. Search for it at the top of this page.

Can I put a larger drive into my RAID array?

Usually, as long as the interface and speed match: the controller uses only as much of the larger drive as the other drives in the array hold. Check that the controller and the server support that capacity, especially on older machines.
