Hi,
The Western Digital 1TB Green Hard drive spins at 5400 rpm which saves you energy. If I was to plug two 1TB WD green hard drives into the NAS unit how much more performance decrease will I get compare to the regular WD 1TB 7200 RPM drives?

I doubt you'll see any perceptible difference if you are looking at it from the perspective of a shared drive over the network. Even with 1 GB ethernet, the disks can deliver data faster than the DSN-323 CPU & TCP/IP stack can deliver it to the client.
That said, I considered the WD Green vs. the Caviar Black drives and picked the Caviar Black drives. The way I figured it, my NAS drives are not accessed constantly and spend a lot of time in spin-down mode where they don't use much power anyway. I set my DNS to spin down the disks after 10 minutes of inactivity.

You shouldn't see any performance difference. GP drives are perfect candidates for a SOHO NAS solution.

I have a CH3SNAS with two 1GB WD GP drives, they run perfect here and i get great results. Jesbo is right.
