Red Pro, Red plus, Ironwolf Pro, Toshiba X or N series... they're all CMR and all good NAS drives IMO. The Pro-level drives are indeed noisier (and enterprise-grade drives are even noisier) but different capacities also have different noise levels based on number of platters etc. (Red Plus 10TB are, for example, noisier than the 12TB version according to reviews and WD's own spec sheet). Pro-level also generally have longer warranties, but TBH they're all pretty long warranties and the nature of NAS means (or should mean) a single drive failure is not going to take down all your data.
