I have 4 2TB greens in a RAID 5, and another one for backup. I've never had a problem.

Hmm...I've heard many accounts of the drives having trouble in a RAID setup due to their intelligent sleeping and the variable spin rate. Maybe they were just hw issues. Glad to hear they've worked well for you, I've always had good luck with WD drives.
I also have my RAID card set to not spin down the drives. Not sure if the WD intelligent sleeping still happens, but either way I have heard bad things, I can just never argue with the price of them.
