This is a great subject, drives types (and which are the best for snaps) is getting harder & harder to keep track of;
I have people at work telling me that there is no difference between Enterprise & Desktop Drives apart from the price and the warranty!
(I have always thought this was BS but I still believe in Santa too!)
For home in a snap I have no problem with good desktop drives if they are the better models as I replicate everything… I get the impression that the general reliability of Desktop SATA HDD’s is very close Enterprise SATA & SAS HDD’s relatively speaking…

What do the green drives do wrong?
1. do the power-down tweaks adversely effect arrays?
2. or are they unreliable?
