Re: Which Router?
The second article might not be about first generation, according to Wikipedia the first generation actually did use a server-grade drive (Seagate Barracuda ES), while the latest (on the first article) uses a WD Green drive. Almost all generations in between have used Hitachi DeskStar drives, yours probably does as well. Note that the "Desk" in Deskstar stands for desktop, not server. That said I've used Deskstar drives in server scenarios for a decade and they've been the most reliable desktop drives I've ever come across.
Still, the manufacturers of the drives themselves (of all but the first generation) explicitly sell these drives as non-server drives, so it's still misleading advertising.
But at the end of the day it depends if yours breaks or not - if it does, it's covered under Apple's warranty regardless of what they put in it. And I expect they're well prepared for supporting people who've used it as a server given it's marketed as a server, and have the support to back it even if the drive manufacturers won't.
