I've heard that they run louder than a typical desktop drive, its the only thing I'd try and find out.....If noise/location is an issue,,,,like in your living room, or something it could be somewhat annoying.

I Have a server room, it's pretty isolated from living area, so noise is less of concern. MY Concerns are on 24/7 r/w and longevity like surveillance drives

I have oem pc drives running in BI pc's for over 10 years....no need to over focus on longevity and branding...if the price difference is not significant go with a drive designed for video, but you dont need an enterprise drive to last.
Also unless you dont care about the privacy of your footage, warranty - particularly from a the reseller in this case is worthless...
