It is absolutely important that the replacement disc also uses the CMR process, you have to be careful with the NAS discs, because there are some with SMR or CMR and yes this WD80EFZZ disc is CMR, so this technically matches the old CMR WD80EFAX discs :).
Helpful answer
This is completely normal. This can be explained by the way an HDD works, because the read/write head of the HDD has to "jump" to reach the corresponding sectors. So if you "read" or "write" different things at the same time, the head will have to jump back and forth faster or more often. Defragmenting helps if the sectors of a file are not in a row ... then the clacking may become quieter. But the hard drive is still one of the quietest I have in my NAS.

The 4TB variant is quieter, I have no experience with the 6TB, the 10TB are at least as loud as the 8TB, if not a little louder, larger HDDs are usually loud, as far as I know, the WD Pro are even louder, as are the equivalent Seagate drives. Unfortunately this is the case

It depends. If one disk is defective, you can replace that one. If you want to increase the size of the raid, you have to replace all 4.
Helpful answer
When replacing, it is not so important to buy exactly the same disk, but it is important that all disks either use the CMR recording format, as with the WD80EFAX, or the SMR method. This WD80EFZZ can also use CMR, so it's a good match.
Yes.

The WD Red (Plus) is simply optimised for NAS. But you can also use it on a normal PC without any problems.
According to the specs, the old one should be able to do 150MB/s, you can also test it at home, only SSDs can do 750MB/s and more. Datasheet of the old one: https://www.compare.de/datacontent.php?EAN=0718037810058 Difference to the new one will be SMR/CMR, there are already many threads about this, maybe this link will help you https://www.hardwareluxx.de/community/threads/unterschied-zwischen-wd40efax-und-wd40efrx.1266616/
Yes, the prices are established according to supply and demand, the suppliers and the availability of the goods, they are daily with us. They therefore vary very regularly, that's fine. However, you can contact customer service for a commercial gesture :)

Hoi - The hard disk supports any file system (be it SMB, AFP, EXT1234x, ZFS etc etc) - the NAS specifies which file system is (or can be) written. The NAS has - like any other system, e.g. like your PC or your MAC - an operating system installed (otherwise we could hardly communicate here together in text messages) and this operating system can read file systems... A NAS does nothing else, but then additionally makes the disk space available to other systems - for whatever - e.g. for Time Machine. Thus: YES, you can use the hard disk for TM - a NAS for this is quite practical, 2TB will not be enough for you over time, 2 hard disks that mirror each other make sense...

Hello, 1/ The main difference is that the red pro operates at a maximum speed of 7200 RPM, which is faster than the red plus. Then, the pro makes less noise and is made to work in a business environment. I believe the warranty is longer (check the digitec website). To make sure the drive is compatible with your synology, check the sinology site. I tested the red plus and it works very well on a QNAP TS-253-D. 2/ You can always add extra disks on a NAS To start at least 2 disks 4 or 6T (depending on need) that work in mirror (Raid1) Best messages, David
Well, there are errors everywhere where work is done, it's great when you report errors.

This ending in the model designation "...EFZX" shows that this is a CMR hard disk. SMR has the suffix "...EFRX".
7200rpm is about 20% faster. 5400rpm ~ 100mb/s, 7200rpm ~ 120mb/s
It is generally inadvisable (not a good idea) to combine different drive types and sizes in a single traditional RAID array. However, whether or not it is a good idea for you depends on your system setup and storage requirements. Some systems (e.g. Drobo) are designed to handle this elegantly and without issue. Alternatively, if you are planning to set up the additional drive as a separate, single disk volume on your NAS, it is not an issue since the new drive will not be part of a RAID array with the old one- though this way (to state the obvious) you will not achieve any redundancy or speed benefits.

I have received all the hard drives I have ordered so far in a well-padded cardboard box with foam. In my opinion, the packaging is good. Bubble wrap would be less good from my point of view because air cushions can burst and the hard drive would probably not be packed as stably.
