Unless someone has tried, nobody knows. There is potential for many issues with non-certified drives, let alone non-enterprise drives ... there is no telling if the new one will do as well as the old ones. One small tweak or difference in firmware settings could be the difference between working and non-working. Answer: maybe. Not very helpful, I know, but all bets are off when using desktop drives in a server.   Sorry, I don't understand this statement.
So I purchased a used H700 so I could utilize a couple 5tb sata drives I had laying around.  I know using non enterprise drives is not the best idea especially in my current raid 0 config.   All that aside:  I have 2 toshiba PH3500U-1I72 drives in that raid 0 config.  I want to purchase a third but found a "updated" version X300 HDWE150XZSTA about $80 cheaper than the ones I already have in the raid 0 array.  The reason I want another drive is to wipe the raid 0 and go to raid 5 for a little bit of a safety net for my NON enterprise drives that I know are not rated for servers.  Is this worth trying since they are so similar to save a few bucks or will the firmware and other differences not allow me to proceed?   This is not a production server only storage for media and used to study for certs and mess around with labs.  I have qty 4 500gb SAS Dell drives in the same server that I have to reconfigure since I loose a drive once I purchase another. Thanks for any input and your time.
