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.

Yes, they probably meant a bit well with the number. Thanks for the tip.

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.

Hello,
In my case, yes. When I ordered 2 discs in the same order, they were always 2 identical discs.
Yes, this is a new product.
Helpful answer
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.

These drives are optimized for RAID-optimized NAS systems with up to 8 bays and feature NASware 3.0 technology, which enhances compatibility, integration, and reliability in NAS environments.

I can only say that I have been using 4 of these HDDs in 24/7 operation in my Synology NAS since 2011, i.e. for 13 years, and in this time only one has failed, and that was only recently. So absolute top quality.
Helpful answer
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
Helpful answer
Happy hour over again. It was probably more of a happy minute ;)
Helpful answer
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.
I bought such a WD red plus 10TB a few weeks ago, at that time the price was stated a few CHF differently (269.- due to currency fluctuations). So you can currently calculate the price per TB yourself (among other things in the product comparison).
Side note: I replaced in an ICY box (4 HDs) one of the three 4 WD red Plus 4TB (another 4TB was replaced earlier with an 8TB) with the same type of 10 TB. Purpose: hourly, automatic backups of my iMac with TimeMachine. Unfortunately, the 10TB red plus often says goodbye after a few hours. I am now mounting this in another enclosure and see where the fault lies.... (Contacts or narrow-bodied ICY box?)
Yes.
Helpful answer
Nine, but the same types should be bought. Either all have the CMR recording method or all have SMR. This is something to watch out for. The NAS does not care whether it is a Plus or Pro disk.
Helpful answer
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:

Difference to the new one will be SMR/CMR, there are already many threads about this, maybe this link will help you

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 :)
