Good price but Newegg has a reputation for poorly packed shipping for bare/OEM drives. Amazon has gotten better at it in my recent purchases but they won't match pricing with a coupon (which is probably why Newegg does it that way).

Seems like a decent price considering the chip shortage.

These 6TB 5xxx rpm HDDs are consistently good value, especially if you don't need the extra 7200 rpm speed and noise.

I bought one 2 weeks ago. It arrived in a cardboard box, and inside that, in a bubble-wrap sleeve. Was fine, except I paid $15 more then.

Same here. Mine arrived just fine and currently in my NAS. I wonder if Newegg will do a price adjustment?

Should there be any concern that the reviews are sub 4 on Newegg (3.8/5)?

I have 4 WD Red 6TB (WD60EFRX) in a NAS, but one went bad. Would it be a bad idea to replace it with this model (WD60EFZX)?

These HDDs are advertised for NAS use, but are they good for use with a regular PC build as well?

you're fine, the controllers manage each drive - as long it's on the approved list mixing is not an issue - this has a larger cache
