What is the difference between "mainstream" and enterprise class drives? For example, how do 7200.11 and ES.2 drives differ, apart from firmware?



Whenever there is a choice, enterprise level HDD's are manufactured on premier manufacturing plants of premier materials. Components and materials may vary, more expensive chipset from suppliers. more extensive or repetitive material quality control during manufacturing and etc. And finally Firmaware depends on hardware, temperature range and expectations .... up to how many times to read bad sector until quit.
