Yeah? I've had 4 x 750GB WD GP drives thrashing around in a RAID10 config in my db server for the past year... only one or two have failed, which is a pretty good record for me.
(Incidentally my NAS contains 750GB Caviar SE drives, which means both boxes are mismatched with regards to storage... a busy db server should have the fast drives, and the relatively quiet NAS should have the more power efficient ones. It's a historical legacy rather than a specific design choice so I'm currently progressively swapping the drives over.)
