@Matt H: I think that information is irrelevant to anybody not using a enterprise-class hardware RAID controller (read more closely), but it would be relevant to companies looking to cutting costs too much.

The biggest difference is TLER, and that the desktop drives or green drives have been known to be too slow. The software RAID/fakeraid believes this is a drive failure and drops the drive. AFAIK, the biggest difference between the WD RE* seems to be the firmware.
