Enterprise Drive vs Desktop Drive

Does anyone know if there is any difference between these drives?

The specs are listed quite differently. The Enterprise Drives are rated by hours between failure. Where Desktop drives have stop/start data and error correction.

Price wise the Enterprise Drives are normally 3+ the price of a desktop drive. There use to be a difference in the Warranty Period. Which no longer applies with most mfg having a 3 - 5 yr warranty.
