One caveat, green drives usually mean they will shut down to save energy. This MAY cause problems if one shuts down and the array breaks.
I don't know this for a fact, just speculation. I am very hesitant to recommend green drives for a raid 5 array.
Please!
Someone correct me if this is a wrong assumption. I have not, nor am able to afford, testing green drives for clients.

I don't see why the array would break. Otherwise the array would break when you have HDD Hibernation enabled as part of the NAS.
