I have them installed in my NAS now and did a full pre-clear, write, read test on them without any issues and all the other drives I have in my nas were also WD externals.
My older NAS has drives over 5 years old without any issues at all.
So you can absolutly save more if you are willing to put in a bit of work for it, but the nice thing here is no extra work and warranty support.
By now I have saved enough that should a drive be bad buying a new one is still cheaper than buying direct drives.

The last batch was white label, and AFAIK it's identical to the red.
I should clarify the old old ones from many years ago were regular reds, anything I have gotten in the last few years are red pros (7200 rpm)
in my FreeNas setup I don't care if it's slower 5400rpm as they read in an array.
For my Unraid setup the 7200 is nice since disks are accessed individually.
I use them for Plex 4k material no problem and to backup my files or offload my local PC storage.
