There is a HOW TO in this link as I recall. The WD drives may not support TLER but they do support WDIDLE tools. If you run the TLER on an unsupported drive it will just give you a "Does not support TLER" response but it will not hurt anything.
Basically here are the steps.
1. Make a DOS disk including the tools
2. Attach your drives via PATA to SATA connector.
3. Insert Floppy and reboot machine.
4. Run DOS utilities and then check to see if they are correct. Very easy to do.
5. Exit DOS utilities and remove WD Hard drive.
6. Reinsert into ReadyNAS.
Hope this helps. Please post results.
