Even though these are "green" drives, they are server models and shouldn't
timeout.

It's more than likely they have a buggy firmware. It happened to me with a
bad batch of RE-GPs a few years ago. They were in a ZFS pool and kept being
removed after I/O timeout errors.

Your nearest WD support person should be able to provide you with a fixed
firmware and the tools to flash them.
