Pros: Been using WD reds for a while.
Drives still usable for PC etc. But no longer NAS worthy
Cons: Oddly, 2 failed about 6 months out of warranty... So 3.5 years up before getting SMART reports on block errors. .
Overall Review: Good drives.

I might not hate shingles as much as most here, but who builds a NAS with shingled drives? False advertising or deliberate uselessness (they work great until you try to recover from a loss in a parity situation like RAID. Then the fall down hard).
Might work if you built a NAS out of Windows Storage Spaces. But really, get Unraid instead (or TrueNAS if you want a real filesystem for your NAS) and CMR drives. Or does WSS have any performance with parity now (they had it once, then it went away)?

Not higher quality CMR
