Enterprise class SATA and SAS drives typically still have a 5 year warranty.<br>

I decided to check on the prices of said Enterprise class drives and ran across a 500 GB drive from Amazon. To my surprise they had a 2 year warranty for only $5.94. Hm...<br>
<br>
A bit later they listed the factory warranty at 5 years. Go figure.<br>
<br>
Not a bad deal either at $64.88 for the drive, even though it's smaller than the state of the art and only 3 MB/s sata speed, but if you don't need a bunch of space and want reliability it's not a bad deal.<br>
