Western Digital RE3 drives

[Riddleofsteel]

Does TLER (Time Limited Error Recovery), need to be disabled on the newer RE3 HDs for proper operation in non-RAID environments?

In the past TLER enabled "RE" HDs had issues when running as stand alone drives.

Just curious, since I am looking for a good large hard drive but am not doing RAID or anything. Thanks.

TLER is enabled by default on WD enterprise drives. As stand-alone drives, you should disable TLER through WDTLER utility, which should be backwards compatible with RE3 drives.
