If I go to a place like http://www.newegg.com/Store/Category.aspx?Category=15&name=Hard-Drives How do I know which drives are made for servers?

They seem to have a near 100% failure rate. It's not if they are going to fail, but when. Also don't go with any hard drive manufacturers budget line or low end drive, try and go for drives that are made for server. They aren't all that much more, but seem to have much lower failure rates.
