Maxtor MaXLine® Pro 500 — 500 GB SATA Hard Drive
MTTF (Mean Time To Failure) in near line (low duty cycle) workloads of 1,000,000 Hours!
These are the enterprise versions with an SATA 3.0Gb interface. macsales.com has a great price. See their site for details. They have other capacities also.
Maxtor was acquired by Seagate. The MaXLine line of drives have been discontinued as far as I can tell. These should come with full warranty and support from Seagate.

[Update 1] MTTF is very similar to MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures). Here is a good article.
