My two WD Green Caviar 2TB disks broke the 300.000 LCCs (head parkings) marker in less than a year.

Green Caviar disks may not be ideal for NAS 24x365 use since they park their heads after just 8 seconds.

If I were you I'd definitely do something to prevent the disks from hitting supposed MTBF figures prematurely.
