If you're gonna build for redundancy, avoid WD Red. They use SMR platters and it doesn't play nice with RAID configs. You'd have to get a WD red plus or red pro to get a CMR drive which actually works in a RAID array. You don't have to worry about accidentally getting an SMR drive with ironwolf though since that whole section is Seagate's branding only uses CMR.
