Why do you think you're "missing" anything?
A 4TB WD Green drive is currently $149, or $37.25 per terabyte. A 4TB WD Red drive is $175, or $43.75 per terabyte. This 6TB drive is $50 per terabyte.
Western Digital's branding of their different lines (Green, Red, Black, Blue, Purple) is 90% marketing and 10% total bullshit. This isn't an "enterprise" drive by any stretch of the imagination. They're virtually identical to their Green line of drives, with different firmware that allows them to be used in hardware RAID arrays without being inadvertently dropped by the controller.
