If the partition(s) on the disk is not changed/formatted then you should be able to use it in the other system with no problems.
If the disk is a total of 8GB and it's all in the one partition (excluding any small partitions possibly used for volume management) then moving the disk is simple.
If you are using a volume manager, like Vertias or DiskSuite, then you have some reading to do on removing (exporting) the partition to the new server.
Please post if you are using any volume management software and the layout (partitions) of the disk being moved. Also the OS version of the system the disk is in and the one it's going to.

REPARTITION(8) System Manager's Manual REPARTITION(8)
NAME
repartition - load a partition table
SYNOPSIS
repartition device [partition-file]
DESCRIPTION
Repartition uploads a new partition table for the partitions of device. The table is obtained from the first sector of partition-file if
given, device otherwise. Device may refer to the whole drive or a primary partition, depending on whether you want to upload a partition
or a subpartition table. The partitions will be truncated to fit within the enclosing device like the disk driver does, unless the numbers
are coming from partition-file.
EXAMPLES
repartition /dev/hd0
repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table
Reload the partition table of drive 0 setting /dev/hd[1-4], and the subpartition table of /dev/hd4 setting /dev/hd4[a-d] using a file. The
latter may be useful if you need more than the 4 subpartitions a single Minix partition gives you.
DIAGNOSTICS
The new table is printed on standard output.
FILES
/dev/hd[0-9]
SEE ALSO
hd(4), part(8).
BUGS
The disk must be in use for the changes to stick. The partition table of an idle disk will be reloaded on the first open.
