Hey there, Yusuf Il!
From the looks of it, everything seems to be ok with your WD Green drives. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
The number 140 represents the Threshold, this is the minimum normalized value limit for the attribute. If the Value (representing the current health) is below this number, then the drive would be defective and the SMART status would have listed the attribute as Failed.
Fortunately, in your case, the SMART data shows that everything is normal.
If you still have any concerns, test the drives using WD's Data LifeGuard as @mx_mp210 suggested.

It looks like normal defragment done by the system.
Since both disks are WD, Check with Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool if it had errors. You can find it here:

@Yusuf, some people would be concerned by the high Load/Unload Cycle Counts.
For example, one of your drives is autoparking its heads every 4 minutes.
0x27b9 hours / 0x23de6 = 4.15 minutes
I'm not sure if it would bother me, though, as I don't have any drives that behave that way.

WD Green drives are designed to reduce power consumption, in part by positioning the heads in a park position (unloading the heads) and turning off unnecessary electronics, resulting in substantial power savings. Some utilities and operating systems aren't optimized for low power storage devices and can cause our drives to wake up at a higher rate than normal. This effectively negates the power-saving advantages of low-power drives, such as the WD Green, and artificially increases the number of load-unload cycles.
However, if you have any worries whatsoever, I recommend you to contact our tech support. I believe they will be more than willing to help you and appease your concerns.

Best of luck!
