Actually there are plenty of reports of Greens dying and failing in NAS/home media players. It's not just about certification, the hardware/firmware combo makes the drives unsuitable for this type of usage.
They need to be in a PC to be depended upon. If you use them in a non PC environment, you are risking failure. In that case, use a WD Red (which I think may just be rebranded RE drives, not sure)
