Except that they are rated for continuous operation owing to not using

Western Digital have addressed this and produce a RAID edition SATA
drive, designed for continuous use and warranted for 5 years.
They are of course a little dearer, but nowhere near SCSI pricing.
We use these as standard in any new SATA server, HP do not.
Good news, I'll bear it in mind.
