TLER is exactly what you want in a RAID. You have another copy of the data in question on the array, why fight for it on a disk when the data may be corrupt anyway.
Fair enough - that's a good article, though it explicitly calls out "RE" drives - "RAID Edition" - which I can imagine having particularly properties associated with "RAID" behavior.
What I'm interesting in hearing, (honestly - I not doubting right now, just interested in being educated) - is if anyone authoritative has described "Enterprise" drives as having these behaviors.
