Are HP Gen8 servers (namely DL380 Gen8 with 2.5" HP disks) compatible with 2.5" harddrives from G5-G7 servers? I mean original HP disks in HP caddies not plain SAS/SATA drives.

No, they're not compatible sorry - they're in different caddies - obviously the disks themselves are regular SAS or SATA but they come in different packaging and one won't physically slot into the other.
By the way, there's no such things as a DL380 Gen8, it's either a DL380e or DL380p - but it doesn't matter for this question.
