If using unraid and not as parity drives, you should be okay. Using them in any RAID configuration is not recommended
This is okay for write once use such as archival usage (backup to USB for example), but it will error out in as few as 50 to 100 lifetime hours if you try to fill it beyong 50% in an OS setting such as any NAS.
Avoid SMR HD for storage if possible, they don't have a good reputation for reliability and performance.
Interesting to see WD label SMR HD as WD RED NAS disk.
Avoid at all costs and get a WD 8TB+ HD.
