Line 48:
The utility comes with three batch files, {{Mono|TLERSCAN.BAT}} to get the current state of the TLER setting on all the hard drives, {{Mono|TLER-ON.BAT}} to enable TLER, and {{Mono|TLER-OFF.BAT}} to disable TLER. The included {{Mono|TLER-ON.BAT}} will set the Read & Write TLER time to seven seconds. If you wish to use a custom timeout value, you can use the {{Mono|WDTLER.EXE}} utility directly with the <code>-r# -w#</code> parameters to specify how many seconds the Time Limit value should be.
 
Western Digital claims that using the {{Mono|WDTLER.EXE}} utility on newer drives can damage the firmware and make the disk unusable. The utility is no longer available from Western Digital, and new dtivesdrives will not be able to have the TLER setting changed. RE disks are only suitable for RAID arrays and Caviar are only suitable for non-RAID use. The utility still works for older drives.
