Those are among the best and fastest NAS drives. I have several 8+ years old - all solid. At almost $17.8/GB it is not a super deal, but still rather good.
One downside of the 7200rpm drives is that they tend to be a bit noisy. But being fast was more important for me.

N300 Pro just came out a year or so ago. Not possible you have 8+ years old drive.

Why are these are specifically advertised as a NAS drive rather than just internal storage? Is there a reason not to use them as a primary bulk storage drive in a PC?

A NAS drive can be used as a desktop drive without much issue. They just might be louder or a little bit slower feeling. They probably have better hardware than the cheaper desktop drives.

NAS drives have firmware (and hardware) designed to play well with a RAID, so they usually have a shorter error recovery process on a bad sector before they report a problem so they don't get kicked out of the RAID as a bad drive. A desktop drive will try longer and might become unresponsive to the controller.

A desktop drive might also have a faster burst data rate which can create extra heat, especially if it is a gaming drive like the WD Black, where as the NAS drive tries to maintain an even temperature and flow of data so it plays better with other drives in the array.

Don't regret that; the 28TB external Seagates are pure garbage

Is it good to use this N300 pro as surveillance hard drive?

I used one of these drives in a UniFi dream machine for NVR/video recording and it failed within 6 months. Your mileage may vary, but video recording is essentially 24x7 high usage when multiple cameras are involved. Tends to put more wear on drives than other NAS workloads. There are specialized drives made for NVR

If your set up is recording 24x7, no, get WD Purple
