Seagate and Hitachi both make high MTBF 24x7 rated "data center" SATA  
drives with 5 year warranties.  They are generally 10% (or  
thereabouts) more expensive than their desktop brethren.  I would look  
at that class of drive.  Hitachi Ultrastar or the Seagate ones.

I don't play with that sort of video though.
