Brad & Phil,
   Thanks for the info. I received an email off-list from an
individual using WD Reds, along with some Seagates, in a RAID6. scterc
is there in his Reds and is set to 7 seconds by default. I ordered a
couple to try out here at home.

Cheers,
Mark

I need to purchase a couple of new drives for a mdadm type RAID1. In
reviewing the WD website I did not find the TLER feature on the WD Red
spec sheets. The TLER feature is clearly called out on both the SE &
RE lines.

It's there. I have several of them here and they all have it. I also
have 12 greens of which 11 have TLER (must be early models). I know the
new ones don't.

I took delivery of four brand new Reds today -- haven't opened the boxes
yet.  I'll verify tomorrow for y'all, but I'll be shocked and dismayed
if SCTERC doesn't default to 7.0 seconds.
