I'll second that Tim, the RE range is what we use in our SATA servers - 
they have a much larger MTBF rate than standard desktop drives, and are 
designed to run 24/7. Specifically for the server market. I've never had 
to return one yet.

I went to a Seagate seminar two weeks ago, and Seagate also has server 
quality drives. I've never tried them though, so will not comment.

Regards,
Ed.
