Experts,
I ordered a couple of 6TB drives from goHarddrive that claimed to be NAS

scterc. I want to replace two of my 3TB drives with these in mdadm

if I am not seious danger.
Depends on "serious". I would return for exchange with proper NAS
drives. And report the vendor for false advertising.
I do run tler.sh that sets 180s timeout for drives that do not have
scterc from /etc/rc.local. Am I putting my data in serious danger? I
only have videos and tv recordings in this md which can be replaced with
significant effort (about 12TB of movies and tv shows will take some
time to copy from my DVDs/BDs)
The 180-second timeout is a band-aid, not a solution. Keep in mind that
your array will appear to be frozen for up to three minutes any time you
have a URE. That will have application side-effects and especially
consequences from impatient users.

I am quite unhappy with the vendor and wanted to make sure that I am not
overreacting. Thanks. I have started the return process. Hopefully, that
is all there is to it.
