TLER tool needed

Reviewed By: j0n3z3y on 2/8/2010

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Pros: Great drives,more drives should step up to the 64Mb cache. Gives great read and write speeds. Impressive results and great reliability.

Cons: tler function removed from non RE drives as many have noted. See other thoughts. Price is a bit steep.

Other Thoughts: Google the WD tler raid util and you will find the utility for enabling tler function allowing use of this and several other drive models from WD in raid arrays w/o dropping out. Effectively makes this drive an RE model.

Issues with WD for RAID

Reviewed By: AussieinNJ on 2/1/2010

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

Pros: It's Big, fast and reliable, as long as you don't hook it up in a RAID.

Cons: Western Digital have introduced TLER to differentiate their desktop editions from RAID editions (RE). Search for "What is the difference between Desktop edition and RAID (Enterprise) edition hard drives?" on the WD site.

Part of the WD answer says
"If you install and use a desktop edition hard drive connected to a RAID controller, the drive may not work correctly unless jointly qualified by an enterprise OEM. This is caused by the normal error recovery procedure that a desktop edition hard drive uses."

This new "feature" was introduced by WD late in 2009 for all new drives that aren't RE drives - buyers beware

Other Thoughts: Have used WD drives for years, but will be looking elsewhere as they are forcing me to spend more money on RE drives instead of desktop drives. Wake up WD and smell the lost customers.

If you plan on using this drive alone - it's great. If you plan on setting it up in a RAID array look for another drive to WD

western digital cavair black 2 tb

Reviewed By: kcozart on 1/24/2010

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I really like this drive.
While it was working it was a lot more fast than my other
western digitals.
I really hope I can get one of these which will work and not
be defective.

Cons: Did'nt last long,starting going bad after about a week.
Like someone said western digital must be having problems
with this drive.

Other Thoughts: I am going to send this one back for a replacement and try
again and if the next one comes back bad I will just probably
ask for a refund of my money.
