1. Locate model numbers for both drives
2. Locate and download PDF spec sheet for both drive
3. Compare
4. PROFIT?!?!?!?
I'm not saying this to be an *sshole, I'm saying it because it's something I would do. After having done that, I might ask for advice. For people's personal experiences which don't show up in spec sheets.
Also keep in mind when you say "WD Reds" there are now WD Red, Red Plus, and Red Pro drives I think. Which makes it a bit of a pain in the ass to compare.

WD Red data sheet: Link

I didn't share the WD Red Pro PDF link because I'm pretty sure they're in another league in terms of warranty (5 years versus 3), performance, etc.
You might consider "shucking" WD EasyStore drives from Best Buy. I currently have 2x8TB WD EasyStore drives, shucked from their enclosures, in a basic Synology DS220j.
I also have 3x8TB WD Gold and one more 10TB WD EasyStore shucked also. EasyStores were purchased at Best Buy ("EasyStore" is exclusive to Best Buy, I believe). The 8TB and 10TB EasyStores which I shucked are Helium filled drives. Not all drives will be Helium filled. With part numbers that match FCC or other filings for DeskStar Enterprise grade drives. Plenty to read on Reddit and other sites about drive shucking. Interesting stuff. Also, warranty is not voided by shucking. Hope you find this helpful.
