Hi,

These servers are too old for SSD, please check the compatibility here and refer to this document.

Thank You!

If you look at the quickspec for some of the older servers you will see a few SSD models listed. So to answer the question, yes SSD are supported in these older systems

Example:
DL380 G5 and DL380 G6 both list
SATA Hot Plug Midline (MDL) Solid State Drives
HP 60GB 3G SATA 2.5in MDL 1y Wty SSD 572071-B21
HP 120GB 3G SATA 2.5in MDL 1y Wty SSD 572073-B21

Hello.

I have 4 SSD SATA drives HP Model: XK0480GDQPH (Micron M500 2.5 SSD) in RAID 10 (using Raid controller Smart Array P822). I am testing in different combination (Proliant DL 380 G5, Prolinat DL 380 G6), VMware ESXi 5.5, 6.5 (HP Customized), different Cache R/W ratio setting and the speed results are very poor. All SATA HDD drives are faster (10K r/m). Does anyone have some information about special settings of RAID controller? I tried to enable HPE SmartPath but no luck, speed result are still poor.
