Different speed. Can I use 2 drive thats 10k rpm and other 3 in 7200rpm?

Yes you can do this, though the 10K drives will run at 7200.

If it doesn't leak oil it must be empty!!

okay thanks, yep thats what I thought. I guess all RAID setup will take what ever is the lowest.

I doubt the 10krpm drives will actually rev down to 7200 rpm, but the controller will divide I/O equally among the drives meaning the 7200 drives will be expected to handle the same load as the 10krpm drives. Performance will not be optimal, but it will work.
