there is no 4tb WD Green, there is a 4TB WD RE which was just released. which sell for $450 each.
There is a good chance that these will get the HGST Hitachi drives inside.

i don't need it, just that adding a 5700 rpm drive in with a 7200rpm raid, it will degrade the performance, if i never needed anything that fast, i am set up for link aggregration and all.

I think he's referring to external enclosures and NAS devices.
The only issue using 3TB and larger drives is if you want to boot from them. YMMV if you want to use it as a boot drive.
