FAIL. (after 12 weeks)
Hence why PoofyHarGuy's said in his guide
3. Western Digital Green HDs - NOT for RAID or ZFS, but great for Unraid as they are fast enough and they are the coolest drives. Best for media storage.

His recommendations are to go for normal, non-WD drives. He then suggests WD green drives (and says not for RAID) and then the other two. He justifies it clearly too. I can't find fault with his recommendations.
