These Toshiba drives are slightly louder than the WD reds.
They run about 5-7 degrees cooler than the WD reds. Average temp is about 37-40C on these. While WD Reds in the same server average about 45-47C.
These seem a bit faster than the WD Reds on R/W speeds. Just slightly. Both the Toshiba and WD reds are connected to the same HBA card.
Your own experience may vary depending on other factors.
WD has a sale going on now, add it to your cart and wait a bit (or sign up for newsletter for first timers) and get either 10% or 15% off, activate the paypal deal for 12% back and you can get some killer deals well below $15/tb

I'd have to go back and look at backblaze's statistics on which lasts longer to see, but just out of mfg warranty the Red Pro deal is better (longer warranty for cheaper)
Edit:
If you want to nerd out, here's last years backblaze report

There's a line-graph that shows Annual Failure Rate, and Seagate SUCK!, but toshiba, wdc and HGST are similar with HGST edging the other two out (fairly consistently)

What's the expected lifespan of drives nowadays?

For me, its more about knowing that i'm covered for 5 years, no questions asked. Everything will be fine for much past that, but its nice knowing a replacement drive is a quick RMA away.

The red run slow and so dont use much power 5400rpm/vs this at 7200 rpm so yes will be louder
If I needed something more real time/faster Id go with these and replace the other wd red in the qnap but not sure Id need to spend another $30 and replace a drive that still has life in it (its 5 yr old so probably another year if I lucky
