What are some examples of RAID/Enterprise SATA drives vs desktop stuff?

Difference is 3 year vs. 5 year warranty, and higher claimed MTBF. It's my understanding the drives are identical internally, but the firmware is tuned slightly differently.

One thing people are leaving out is that you can get a 15K RPM SAS drive. I haven't seen a 15K RPM SATA drive yet.
