Yes, it's certainly worth checking.

AFAIK the Intel ones should be good as they do serious amounts of testing and 
have huge R&D to develop great drives.

To cut it short, another idea is to:
1. build another box to make a new NAS using cheaper higher capacity drives
2. zfs send/recv the pool contents to the new NAS
3. use the old box as a backup machine containing as many old drives as you've 
got in a RAID-Z1 or RAID-Z2 vdev(s) so that you make efficient use of the 
capacity available in these 400GB drives.

Cheers,
Simon
