Yes, you can do that. I also have 2x WD80EFAX and 2x WD80EFZX Raid 5 installed in a Synology DS918+ and it runs great.

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
It is the possibility to distinguish whether the HD works with SMR or CMR storage technology.

Hello, yes, it should fit. In principle you can (since you have Raid 1) simply pull out 1 disc and put the new one in. Then you should see something about repair storage pool somewhere in the NAS storage manager. If you do this, the raid will be restored. This can take a few hours. It is best to simply wait about 24 hours. The new one will still be displayed with the capacity of the old one, don't get confused.
After the raid has been restored, do the same with the 2nd hard drive. Finally, expand the storage pool to 12Tb (also in the storage manager).

Yes, the Western Digital Red Plus 12 TB hard drive (WD120EFBX) has a standard SATA III (SATA 6Gb/s) connector that you can easily connect to your motherboard. This port is compatible with your ASUS TUF Gaming X670E-Plus Wifi motherboard.

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

Happy hour over again. It was probably more of a happy minute ;)
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.

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 :)
Can't say, at the time I bought mine the 14 was either not yet available or it was (much) more expensive. I do not recall.
No one can tell you about actions in advance
It is best to give your feedback and product wishes directly to the customer service. Here in the community, things like that often get lost.
PS: Otherwise, try placing several orders.
No, the 8TB is not SMR (even with the EFAX in the model name). Only the 2 to 6 TB with EFAX are SMR. Western Digital has meanwhile written a statement on their blog with a table that provides an exact overview: https://blog.westerndigital.com/wd-red-nas...

Yes, of course it works. This is a bit of an operation, since the plate is actually designed for continuous operation, but it still works without any problems.
Since the model number alone does not indicate if it is helium filled or not, and stock may vary and by different suppliers, your best bet would be to actually order the product and check it yourself. From the following reddit thread the later models (probably current stock) should be air filled again. -> https://www.reddit.com/r...
Why is the 8TB variant specified with 8.8W power consumption and the 10 and 4GB variant with 5.xW???
Helpful answer
Good day
Hard disks have different characteristics depending on the type; type & year of manufacture, throughput, functions, and ventilation (quiet/loud) and thus different power consumption. The 8TB is also heavier than the 10TB, which speaks for itself.
Greetings
Seems to be limited during the promotion.
I also have an 8TB drive in a Synology and I only hear the normal whirring of the hard drives. I don't hear a noise like the one you describe. I would take a look at the SMART values and otherwise RMA.
Helpful answer
Unfortunately, you cannot correct anything here. Error 198 shows you that the hardware has problems that cannot be corrected and you can therefore make a claim under the warranty.
The easiest way is to take a screenshot of the SMART overview with the errors (the serial number of the disc should be visible on it), print it out and enclose it with the disc if you want to return it. Normally you will get a replacement immediately.
