Question about WD Red Plus

Hello together I have a Synology NAS with 8 x 8TB storage capacity. One hard drive is now defective and needs to be replaced. Until now, I had the WD80EFAX-68KNBN0. However, this model is no longer available. My question would be whether I could combine 1x WD80EFZZ with 7x WD80EFAX. Thank you in advance for your help.

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 :).
