Smart Array and mix 10K/15K HDD


I have HP DL380е G8 with P420FBWC and some SAS 10K 300Gb in RAID5.
I also have a free SAS 15K 300Gb.
Can I mix these drives in the same array ( logical drive)?
Interested stability, rather than the performance increase.
As the controller will work out a situation where neighboring drives in a single array differently respond to requests to read or write?
Thank you

Alex

Yes, you can have drives with different rotation speeds wtihin the same logical volume on a Smart Array controller.
