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...

A bit later they listed the factory warranty at 5 years.   Go figure.

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.
