What makes you recommend WD Red?
Given the history of the WD Red series they should be avoided by anyone who cares about data integrity in a NAS.
After the SMR scandal, WD did a rebrand and now any drive with any form of promise for NAS use are called WD Red Plus.
I'd go with Toshiba or Seagate Ironwolf.

They are hard to find, constantly discontinued, or internals replaced without notification. WD Reds are freely available and cheap. I just switched from single to double redundancy to account for trusting them less.
