Had a raid drive go down on an old dell power edge 2900 server.

 

I have found the same drive online but it's going to take a week to come out. A friend says he has a spare but it's 15K and the one in my server is 15k.5

 

Does the .5 make a difference?

I don't think it will - I think that's just a marketing term / model name but if it is capable of running at 15,500 then it will be capped by the slowest drive in the raid array

If that's a Seagate drive, they tend to put a .x number after it to denote the generation of the drive. For example, a 7200.14

15k.5 Drive Spec. There is also a 15k.7

15K.5 as in Seagate Cheetah 15K.5? The .5 represents the generation of the drive.

 

Edit. What @Norphy said. :)
