      Desktop and Enterprise drives are really only labeled for SATA disks.

      All SAS/SCSI drives are Enterprise, and as far as specific hosts you'd want to ask them exactly what drive model is used.

      Honestly SATA = lower end performance, but gives you amazing storage capacities 1-2TB

      SAS/SCSI = high performance but smaller capacities with a max of 450GB

      In all honesty individual drives dont matter too much and what you really want is a RAID enabled system to protect them in case of a single drive failure. Additional off server backups are just as important.

      Check out www.RealityCheckNetwork.com or hit me up on ICQ directly 4930562 - I can spec out a server for your specific needs that's fully protected and priced for Desktop or Enterprise level performance/functionality.
