Perc S100 Raid
I have a 3 year old Dell PowerEdge T110 with Windows Server 2008, RAID 1 with 2x146gb serial SCSI drives and a PERC S100 controller.
There are no errors, but i have only 3gb of storage remaining, and need to upgrade asap.
I am fairly technically literate, and wouldn't mind tackling this on my own if it's not too complex.
Questions:
1. Is replacing the drives as simple as replacing one at a time, loading the PERC controller, designating the new drive as a mirror, and letting it rebuild? Then replacing the other with the same process?
2. If so, how will I get access to the additional storage space on my larger drives? Will the controller automatically identify this space, or will I need to use a drive utility to enlarge the partition?
I suspect I'm looking at this too simplistically, but any help you can provide is appreciated. I'm in a bind now, as my server is no longer functioning properly due to the lack of storage.
Thank you.

Dell Perc S100 Controller Driver Manual
Please excuse my lack of knowledge on RAID Controllers.
I've just build a new workstation and since the motherboard is SATA II decided to buy a cheap PERC H310 Controller of Ebay and put 2x120GB Samsung Evo 850 SSD.
I thought that since the controller allows up to 6 Gb/s transfer (SATA III) I would be able to double it in RAID0.
The Problem is that BIOS recognises the Controller but the controller menu (Ctrl + R) doesn't recognise any of the drives (RAID enabled in the BIOS SATA options). I've tried to put the drivers on usb stick while installing windows 7 but the OS didn't recognise the drivers either.
Now I'm running the SSD's separately directly from the mobo in SATA II and after the OS install I'm trying to find any suitable drivers but all seems to give an 'not compatible with this system' or 'This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing this software' errors.
Is it the controller or I'm messing it up ?
If I won't be able to use the controller what other controllers would allow me to reach higher speeds than SATA II ?
