Let me guess, it's an air drive (you can tell easily as they look totally different , these are regular Red, well called now "Plus" even if there's nothing different, but you get the idea, the air is the one with a hole).

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

title mentions the "pro"
It is pro. I cant find anywhere if it is helium or air filled
Just click on the link and then look at your drive, you should be able to spot the difference immediately. Does it look as the drive above (helium) or below (air with the characteristic venting hole and everything)?
Pro or not it can still be air filled.
Yeah, 8TB drives in general really need active cooling and they also tend to be on the louder side.
I'd say any drive needs that. I left a 3tb running without cooling and it got up to 60c
