This is exactly the kind of vendor propaganda I was talking about
and it proves my point quite well : that there's nothing specific relating
to reliability that is different between SCSI and SATA drives cited in

It does have a bunch of FUD such as 'oh yeah we do a lot more
drive characterization during manufacturing'.
