Mixing of different SSD Vendor within the same array

Hi Team,

Good day.

May I please confirm, is there any implications when mixing different make of the SSD within the same array but the same capacity and type?

We have a server (HPE PROLIANT DL360 GEN10 SPECIAL SERVER - 869121-B21) with installed SSD using 480Gb SATA RI SC SE4011 (P06194-B21) and we are planning to expand the capacity by adding more 480Gb SSD. However since this SSD with PN: P06194-B21 has been end of sale already, is it okay to use this SSD? --> HPE 480GB SATA 6G Read Intensive SFF SC Multi Vendor SSD (P18422-B21) - Technically in my own opinion it should be fine, i am just unsure if there is any implication when mixing of different Vendor.

Also, since there is a stock for this part number - P40497-B21., can also use this?

Thanks a lot in advance for the advise.

Regards,

Mark Joseph

FYI: regarding P40497-B21 -- according to the description:

https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00001288ENW

HPE 480GB SATA 6G Read Intensive SFF BC Multi Vendor SSD

this drive has a "Basic Carrier" (BC), which is not compatible with the "Smart Carrier" (SC) backplane in your server, at least as far as I know...
