You want an in-depth comparison of how a server disk drive is internally
better than a desktop drive:
http://www.seagate.com/content/docs/pdf/whitepaper/D2c_More_than_Interface_ATA_vs_SCSI_042003.pdf
BTW, someone (Western Digital?) is now offering SATA drives that carry
the same MTBF/warranty/what-not as their SCSI drives. I can't remember
if they actually claim that it's the same mechanisms just with a
different controller on the drive...
Well western digital and Seagate both carry 5 year warranties. Seagate I
believe does on almost all of there products. WD you have to pick the
right drive.
