Does the cache/buffer memory of the individual hard drives play a role when there are several hard drives in a NAS? I want to add a hard drive to an existing NAS with currently 3x WD Red Plus, 6TB, 128MB hard drives (WD60EFZX). Is it possible to add a WD Red Plus, 6TB, 256MB (WD60EFPX) without any problems? Both run with CMR technology. Many thanks for any feedback.

can be connected without any problems. Cache improves read speed. I don't know your raid, but I'm sure you can answer this question yourself. Otherwise, see also "Uwe's" post.

Hello all I would like to connect surveillance cameras via my Synology NAS, but the question is, wouldn't it be better to plug in a WD Purble for this purpose?

For home use with a few cameras, a Red is certainly sufficient, the Purple only has advantages if many cameras write to the disk and you often evaluate the videos. Both are suitable for continuous operation.
