But if they're better at actually working hard 24/7, isn't that a great tradeoff? Even 3-4 hours of interruption/downtime would be an assload of the difference in seek times over the course of a few months I'd think? Maybe you have cold swap drives so it's not an issue to replace drives, but I'm sure building the raid, fsck all that shit (I have no idea wtf I'm talking about now) takes time too.
