As you might know by now, I'm planning on building a Windows Home Server soon. In this build, I'm going to use three 1TB drives and use the WHS folder duplication.
This server will be on 24x7 and I understand that some drives will wear out sooner when they're on every day all day.
Seagate has the ST31000340SV drive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148299) which says it's designed for 24x7 use in a DVR type application. It's a little more expensive than other drives but not as much as the Western Digital RE or Seagate ES server grade drives.
Think this drive should have a better lifespan than a plain ol' drive? I can't seem to find any reviews or other information about it so I'm kinda lost.
