+1

However partitioning is still required, but the best way to copy the data is
to use the built in sync mechanism of linux raid.

I am just about to replace 2x1TB WD Green against 2x1TB WD Red using this
procedure, because the Green is very slow compared to the Red. 

Age is also a point, but as mentioned by Gene when running 24/7 its almost
forever. I think those Green disks are already 10y/o
