Are we still talking about the bigger bearings better quality
components ...? I have one theory why enterprise SCSI drives could be
designed better and still fail at similar rates. One thing to consider
is that most enterprise SCSI drives operate at 10K or 15K rpm while
the only SATA drive to operate at 10K rpm that I know of is the raptor
which is designed and priced more similar to the enterprise SCSI
drives than the consumer SATA drives.
