There is also a vibration standard. Higher end drives will have a lower
vibration; hence more longevity.

My impression is it's a duty cycle thing. Non-enterprise drives are
not rated for the "always-on/always thrashing" use case of a VM server
or NAS environment. To be more specific, I generally use drives that
are approved by NAS vendors (WD RED, HSTG Enterprise, etc.). As Mike
said, if you can go SAS, that's probably better than SATA (you get
NCQ, higher capacity buses, sometimes larger drive cache sizes, etc. -
all at higher cost).
I've been running WD RED drives in my NAS for my Proxmox cluster (and
VMware ESXi prior to Proxmox) for a few years with no issues.

Looking at updating the drives on one of our boxes we run proxmox on.
Is there a big difference between 7200 rpm drives labeled enterprise
vs simple 7200 rpm name brand drives?
