WD40EFAX as red ($99 at WD)
WD40EFRX as red "plus" ($109 at WD)
Ie note the RX vs AX
And the text on the newegg page:
This model uses CMR technology and is...

I definitely recommend keeping an eye on Amazon Warehouse deals for these. Picked up a 10TB Red (CMR) for $175+tax the other day on there.

It's 7200 RPM. WD is just labeling it as 5400RPM -- specifically, it's labeled as 5400RPM Class.

Is this a good deal? Considering that it is in fact CMR but 64 MB cache? Good for Synology or QNAP NAS?

You'd be paying a premium. Non-NAS drives are a good deal at $15/TB.
That said, the NAS drives should be more robust for storage longevity.

My understanding is that they're not loud (esp. compare to older gen drives). You can look at the data sheet in WD to see the db though it's hard to find currently.

EFRX is the original WD Red -> now Red Plus
EFAX is the "newer" larger cache version RED (probably SMR in 3-6TB unless you get old stock)
not a big deal if it's SMR - has only a performance hit...
