Adding to what has been already discussed, When you add 450GB Disk with 15krpm to an existing DAE with less rpm and capacity then you are at a loss if there are no plans for Capacity and Performance Expansion for that particular Storage System. The drive capacity & rpm would be under-utilized.
Though replacing higher capacity and rpm disk won't do any harm to this storage system but I would recommend, If you have other storage system with 450GB/15k drive enclosures you may use the disk for those storage system in future and get this replaced with 400GB/10krpm
I would also recommend to check All Disk & FLARE OE Compatibility Matrix before replacement and for future references!
