RAID rebuilding and drive compatibility

I’m working with a server that has an Intel S3420GLPC board and a RAID 1 configuration, running Matrix Storage Manager ROM v.8.9.0.1023. It has two 500 GB Seagate Constellation drives. One of those drives shows an error, so I found a drive with the same model number and tried to use it for the rebuild. When I powered the server back up, the working drive said “Incompatible” in red, while the attempted replacement drive said “Non-RAID disk” in green. A little research and question-asking later, I fear that the new drive firmware is incompatible with the old drive, meaning the rebuild can’t happen. My question is whether or not anyone has any documentation on what drives might work with this controller…and/or if anyone has advice that doesn’t include biting the bullet and replacing the server.
