Whats the difference between these HDD's

[billin30]

There are two Seagate drives here on Newegg that I am considering and one is 20 bucks more than the other but today i got a thing from newegg with the code to make them equal in price. Just wondering what the difference is

The AS drive is the Barracuda 7200.10, desktop version.

The NS drive is the Barracuda ES.2, near-line storage/server version.

The NS drive is more reliable, with 1.2M hours MTBF and 0.73% AFR @ 24/7 operation. The AS drive is 750K hours MTBF and 0.34% AFR @ 8/5 operation.

The NS drive also has a few server-tuned tweaks to the firmware.
