I'm not sure on the TLER issues by themselves, but after the nightmares I have 
gone through dealing with the 'green drives', which have both the TLER issue 
and the IntelliPower head parking issues, I would just stay away from it all 
entirely and pay extra for the 'RAID Editiion' drives.

Just out of curiosity, I took a peek a newegg.

Western Digital RE3 WD1002FBYS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard 
Drive -Bare Drive  

are only $129.

vs. $89 for the 'regular' black drives.

45% higher price, but it is my understanding that the 'RAID Edition' ones also 
are physically constructed for longer life, lower vibration levels, etc.
