Hi there.
 
The WD Green is a very good drive but it was designed mostly for secondary storage and back up purposes. For a RAID – I would suggest you to check some drives that were specifically designed for RAID environment. They have RAID specific built-in features (like TLER – helps the drive recover faster in case of read/write error and the drive doesn’t drop off the RAID) that the other hard drives don’t have.
 
But since you already own the two Green drives they should work fine as long as they have the same capacity, cache size and RPM.

The drives are the exact same in every way with exception to a small model number difference. Once I get some more money I will most likely look into different raid options maybe even consider some cheap SSDs for raid. But thankyou for the information.
