I'm not sure about 4.2.17, but our problems with ST2000DL003 drives had nothing to do with Time Machine. We use our ReadyNAS as a file server and just having 25 employees accessing files at the same time caused drives to fail. As with many others here, a couple of resyncs and restarts would 'fix' the problem temporarily, but they would inevitably fail again. It appears that the problem has more to do with loads placed on the drives. Under regular daily use, they would fail intermittently, but I could consistently get them to fail if I ran a large file transfer using RichCopy.
We ended up having to buy different drives. We've had no trouble since.
