-Slight bump in performance. Gold can do 249MB/s, Red Pro can do 240MB/s.
-Gold has an MTBF of 2.5 million hours, Red Pro only 1 million.
-Gold has an annual failure rate spec, Red Pro does not.
-Red Pro has a workload rate of 300TB/yr, Gold's specs are defined for a workload of 219TB/yr but the drives are designed for 550TB/yr.
-Gold is more power hungry. 7.1/6.7W for sequential read/write vs. 5.7W on the Red Pro. 5W idle vs. 2.8W on the Red Pro.
-Gold has a higher operating shock rating of 70G vs. 30G read write, 65G read only on the Red Pro.
-Gold is slightly louder on seeks at 36dBA vs. 29dBA
-Gold weighs 10g more than a Red Pro.
TL;DR: Gold is specced to be more reliable but consumes more power.
Now in my opinion.. If they're exactly the same price, and If your NAS is tucked away somewhere and sound isn't an issue, go with the Gold. *Potentially* more reliable down the road.
Golds can also be used in Surveillance and other instances where a Red Pro probably wouldn't be a good idea

I guess if you have Amazon CC / Giftcards that's enticing to order on Amazon.
WD Direct you could potentially get decent cashback as well.
Not that it matters... but build date for the Gold I received was like early to mid 2021. Maybe they just had an excess.
