Actually, that's true

But it's not for ALL drives in all Apple products. It is ONLY for the drives in Xserve and Xserve RAID products. Yes, they're just run of the mill ATA and SATA disks, but they've been put through an extremely thorough battery of tests (more thorough that for consumer products), and many are rejected. In this way, Apple can get the benefits of the traditionally higher quality control of SCSI disks by doing the quality control itself, without the associated higher costs of SCSI.
