I have an existing raid 10 array with 750gb se16 drives. I turned TLER on when I got them, and all was right with the world... drive failed, and I replaced it, and TLER can not be turned on with the new drive (caviar black this time)
I also bought 2 caviar green 2tb drives that I set up as a mirror without TLER, and we'll see how that goes...
the question: assuming I cant get TLER on, which WD says I cant, and I am not buying drives that are twice as expensive in order to mirror them, are there settings someplace in intel matrix manager for the ICH10R that would allow me to mitigate the issue of the drives dropping out of the array periodically?
In the future, I am done with western digital unless they have a TLER option again for competitively priced drives... Any thoughts on other manyfacturers that have drives that can be used in RAID arrays?
