Is there a way to remove the TLER of the WD Red NAS drives to convert them to a consumer drive ?

You can change the TLER setting from the Error Recovery Control (ERC) menu in HDAT2. However these changes will not survive a power cycle.

User's Manual HDAT2 v4.8:

You could use WDTLER to retrieve the current values of the TLER timers and compare them against those reported by HDAT2.
