PK442,
Are you using Hardware raid or on board raid? As far as your drives, I am pretty sure that WD is shipping all their drives with TLER set on. And to tell you the truth, I ran my raid 5 with 3 drives for 9 months with TLER set off, and had no issues what-so-ever.
Set up your raid, and don't worry about it. If you are using an actual hardware raid card, you will not have any problems. It seems like all the issues revolve around on-board raid setups, which are in reality "software" raids, and performance wise, you wasting your time and money.
I did extensive testing with on-board raids, and most times the performance was the same or less then using a single drive.
Good luck!
