HD questions on the S5500BC server

[DouglasRibeiro]

Hello guys, I have a kind of old server here, model Server Board S5500BC. I need to change all their hard drives and I'm not sure if it will be compatible with some, if someone can help me. I need to put HD from seagate the Exos 3.5 And I will also go by SSD from Crucial. I also need to do RAID, I would like to know if all this is compatible if I can buy without fear.
