Hi, I have a Dell PowerEdge R710. The HDD in the system have 32mb cache. Would it be okay to replace them with HDDs that have 64mb cache? HDDs are same speed and transfer rate.
Hello here is the homepage:

Yes, that will be okay.
But a SSD harddrive is much faster, than the old mecanical one.
I know they are a little more expensive, but you will see a speed improvement, you have newer seen before.
Good luck

I am working on one of these now and yes, it should boot from DVDROM. Be aware that it is a notebook style drive and there are no onboard IDE or SATA controllers, so once the drive dies you're in for a wallet hit. Same goes for the floppy drive which is integrated with the DVDROM. Even worse, the presence of the broken floppy usually means a USB floppy drive won't help when loading windows drivers at install time.

I finally made contact with our IT dept who were abole to carry out a remote diagnostic test.
Problem has now been identified (problem with tape drive)
