Experts,

I ordered a couple of 6TB drives from goHarddrive that claimed to be NAS 
suitable, but SMART shows that they do not support
scterc. I want to replace two of my 3TB drives with these in mdadm 
raid6. I can get a replacement or return, but want to avoid the hassle, 
if I am not seious danger.

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)
