146Gb disks vs 300Gb. 10k vs 15k
Is performance of the 300Gb disks an issue?
And is it nescesarry to use 15k disks instead of 10k for performance?

Re: 146Gb disks vs 300Gb. 10k vs 15k
If you are doing a lot of disk I/O and the drives are SATA then you may see more disk failures. From what I recall SCSI disks are designed for 100% duty cycle but SATA drives are designed for 20% - 30% duty cycle.
Using SATA drives for nearline backup is great. Using them for an active database is not a good idea.

Re: 146Gb disks vs 300Gb. 10k vs 15k
For instance what you pay for 20x15K HDD's, may get you 35x10K HDD's in comparison. Having more spindles in your array (although of slower rotational speed), may in fact improve overall performance (and of course give you more usable space).
I have seen some calculations for this somewhere (on a course I think), so it's worth bearing in mind if you have enough free enclosures to house them.
Also it depends on how cheaply you can get the disks for, every supplier is different..... some may have a special offer on though !

E.g. limited number of bays in your existing enclosure. Or (maybe even more important) larger number of drives means higher probability of data loss in RAID5 array - a simultaneous failure of two drives is more likely to happen when you have plenty of them.

Re: 146Gb disks vs 300Gb. 10k vs 15k
Reference to EVA Best practices Guide,
Cost/IOPS :
- I would suggest you to use 146 GB 15K rpm disk drives
Performance Wise:
- Also , 15k rpm disk will improve the performance. More than that no. of spindles also decides the performance.
You can find more info. in Best practices guide.
