Replace p208i-a by p408i-a

[Radouben]

Hi,

I have a dl 160gen10 serveur with a p208i-a storage controller. I have somme issues with IOP and I would like to replace it by a p408i-a controller.
Did you expérience this procédure, and Can you advise me plaise? I'm not sure about m'y raid config. Will i lose it? Dors the replacement is possible?
Maybe there is another method to add caching to my server?

In avance, Thanks for tour help
