He used WD commodity drives on a "hardware" RAID enclosure that needed TLER. The RAID-5 kicked out 4 drives in a short period of time, so he power cycled it and re-initialised the array and it came up fine, but blank (as it would as he re-initialised it).
Just to clarify that as it was somewhat muddled. The initial failure was on an unspecified array with unspecified drives and resulted in a blank array. The backup failure was TLER related using WD GP drives on a hardware array and was left unresolved.
That's still not concrete evidence of those drives failing, it's just using the wrong tool for the wrong job.
