You may want to avoid the 20TB as that uses SMR:

Seagate and WD sales of HDs keeps dropping (because of SSDs, etc.). Manufacturing lower capacity HD drives won't be worth it.
Yes, there's inflation, but I don't see inflation as an issue for computer electronics. I think it's going the other way as consumers will want to spend less and get more. The big push for WFH electronics has gone through. Now plants are at full capacity and eager to bring in revenues fast. Small stick streaming devices are plentiful and given away for almost free. There will be less demand for consumer high storage needs for most, though some will go the other way.
Attached chart of anticipated capacity shipments going forward.
They are 5400rpm but I still see upwards of 200MB/s read/write.
I believe that they added the easystore line to the exclusions earlier this year.
Correct for today - this should be for everyone starting tomorrow. I'm hoping I'm not wrong but apologies if I am. Worst case scenario everyone just starts downvoting it

Imho, the primary advantage to having 10gbe between your NAS and the rest of the network is that a single user on 1gbe can't bottle neck the whole system.
With ZFS, for example, the file system can leverage striping to deliver a speed that is multiple of what a single drive is capable of. Like, with a 6 drive VDEV you will definitely be bottlenecked by 1 GBe and would benefit from your 10 GBe.
Membership is the price of the hard drive, which is not worth it and doesn't make it a deal.
At least that's how I understood OP.

Thanks for the clarification. I understood it incorrectly.
On Windows 10, must we safely remove drive each time, or can we just disconnect the drive, or do we lose the data? In the case of power outages with it still connected, will we lose all data?

A nice way to speed things up would be to have a 1TB ssd or something of the like installed functioning as a cache for your NAS. Seeing as NVME 1TB drives are available now for as little as $50 that would be a great way to go rather than trying to get a bunch of fast (but still comparatively slow) hard drives. Sure, those Gen 3 SSD's may not even break 2000MB/s read/write but changes are that's still WAY faster than what your local network would be able to handle anyway.

What's inside the 14 TB Easystore: WD140EDGZ.
I precleared two of them, no issues. I swapped out my 8TB parity drive with one, no issues. I swapped out a 5 TB data drive with one, no issues. Now I need to swap out another 5 TB with the old 8 TB parity. My server has been down for several days and I'm not crying, you're crying.
