So Raid 5 building needs 3-4 days.
Definitely. Try, but don't scream.

Take another 4 500 Gig drives and it will "sashaying".

#1 WRONG!
4200 and 4500 work great with 4 x 750GB drives all day long. Been there, done it, works fine. In fact with SATA adapters, will use the 1GB drives etc also.
#2 WRONG!
I had a 4500 with 4 x WD5000AAKB (before I put 4 x 750GB in it) and it worked perfect for the 8 months or so it had them before going to larger drives. They work fine.
and They take about 5 hours to do a RAID 5 with those drives...
