Not buying so don't know if this works here, but it's handy to know about.
On the subject of these drives though, at 7200rpm enterprise drives they're probably somewhat loud, and reviews seem to confirm that. They're intended to be in racks in a server farm where you won't hear them over the din of fans running. If you're buying these for a NAS, I'd only do that if your NAS is somewhere you can't hear it.

I have already placed my order and burned my 15% coupon code, but I would like to know where on the PayPal website you found this as a possible future option.
I initially tried googling paypal western digital and landed on a page that advertised it but did not have a link; searching western digital on paypal's site after logging yielded this page with the link. Remember to disable all your content blockers etc.
16TB for $580 with tax ($290 each), cheaper if 12% paypal cashback and 5% browser cashback came through.
about $260 with tax each for me. pretty decent saving. else I wouldn't have bought HD this size. lol.

Digging a little deeper, the WD golds seem to be the same as WD Ultrastars which was HGST technology that WD took over?
That MTBF of 2.5 for gold over the Red and Red Pro at 1 is impressive and a good reason to get this if you can "handle the heat".

And yeah, these aren't just NAS drives. These are high end datacenter drives.
there are other CMR drives better equipped for home use, like the red plus. they are quieter and cooler. unless you are running a bunch of virtual machines or running some kind of heavy I/O database, the red plus and ironwolf drives are better suited for home use.
having said that, these are so cheap that it's hard to pass on them even if you are looking for quiet drives. i ended up buying 8.
I bought exactly what I needed - a drive deleoped by Hitachi and fine tuned by WD with the best possible ratings yet the read/write power draw is exactly the same as RED Pro. The idle(which is not spin down) is 2 watt more.
Mic drop.
