Sure can store a ton, probably more than you need for years to come if you aren’t hording bunch of 4K vids. But any drive has chance to fail regardless. Work on a backup solution for things u can’t afford to loose first. If not, the bigger the drive the more u lost in one failure.
There are things like 321 back up rules out there might seem far fetched for regular home. But the least to do is have duplicates copies on two different drives / store medium. ( not raid, that’s not back up )

Toshiba quotes their "active idle" acoustics as 20dB.
https://toshiba.semicon-storage.com/content/dam/toshiba-ss-v2/master/en/storage/product/data-center-enterprise/ehdd-mg08_product-overview_rev.3.pdf
As a comparison, the Seagate Exos 16TB does not list anything for acoustics on their datasheet. Some resources online say it's 28-30dB for idle.
https://www.seagate.com/www-content/datasheets/pdfs/exos-x16-DS2011-3-2008US-en_US.pdf
Additionally, the Toshiba pulls less power @ 4.0W idle versus 5.0W for the Seagate. For random 4K R/W average, the Toshiba is 7.63W and the Seagate is 10.0W (if I've compared the datasheets correctly).

Would this work in a Synology 220+?
I already have a WD Elements 12TB that I plan to shuck. Is it a bad idea to combine these two?

I think you're off by a factor of 1000: 20 members x 100 photos x 2mb is 4GB, which would make this drive good for almost 4000 years.
