TLER just shortens the firmware's error recovery from something like 60 seconds down to 4 seconds. It's mainly useful in hardware RAID but I can see it being useful with mdraid in the enterprise where you can't afford to wait for the drive to do it's own recovery attempts. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.
