I have ide drives under constant load running for years 24/7 in a server
environment. I have seen both SCSI and ide drives fail but not one more
than the other. Seagate also has ide drives that they warrant for 5 years.
I would not put the 1 year warranty consumer drives in a production server
just because I think they might not hold up but that is just a feeling
and I could be wrong about it.

They are supposed to hold up well but my personal experience with them
is limited, so for me it is too soon to tell.
