First, thanks for the response. When I mentioned RAID haters, it was directed at those who view RAID as too risky no matter the drive being used. Your comments are directed toward using Green drives in a RAID array despite WD’s warnings not to.
I’ve read many, many articles on the TLER issue and understand it.
My final question, if you can answer this, is: does the TLER issue lessen/become moot if the RAID is actually a “software” RAID? I’ve read some posts that TLER on Green drives becomes an issue when the RAID controller drops the drive and that software RAID does not do this. Is this true?
If so, then is it safe to assume that my RAID card is in fact software RAID since it isn’t recognized in BIOS but only once Windows loads the driver, it has no cache or BBU, etc.?
Thanks.
