If you can choose between two hard drive (both are very good) for the same price, performance and size why not buy the one with the 5 year warranty instead of the 3 year one?
I've been looking after a small work group for about 20 years and I've only seem a handful of hard drives fail. It is just that as they have gotten bigger they don't seem to last as long.
Unless the guys (it was actually a girl) at Intel lied the Raid 1 actually goes faster than a single drive. I only use it for data protection. You can set up 0 and 1 partions on two drive so you can get the big speed improvement if you want.
