Did they label them as being for NAS? This is the issue. They are unsuitable for use in a NAS.

  That's fair, though it's still sad that you need to spend more money for a Seagate NAS drive today when 4 years ago a Barracuda cost 20% less than that and worked just fine.

  As someone who has no experience in this field, why are they specifically unsuitable for NAS?

    They'll work fine (although with the normal expected slower writes of SMR drives) until a drive fails normally and the raid array has to rebuild (which is kind of the reason you use a raid array), then it could take a week+ and there's a very good chance you'll get more failures during and lose all your data.
