From what I can tell, the real problem is running the non-TLER KS in a RAID array and having the longer recovery time cause a dropout of the drive from the array. However, having the TLER-equipped YS on a non-RAID system should not result in similar results - perhaps more error reporting. Which can be made moot by turning off TLER.
I'm going with the YS, I think. Better performance, better warranty, and now a better price (includes shipping and the KS doesn't). It'll cost me $15 more than the Maxtor Pro from Fry's, but better to have the best now than regret later.
