Google's report is about commodity PATA / SATA drives.

Those EVAs have quality SCSI drives. They are far more rugged than
PATA/SATA and they are designed to work hard their entire life.  (ie.
IIRC 20% duty cycle is the design goal for PATA/SATA,  100% duty-cycle
for SCSI)

There really is a reason that SCSI costs more in general, and HP uses
good SCSI drives on top of that.
