I had been planning to get a NAS since the beginning of this year but have held off because I'm just unsure of which HDDs (brand|types) to get.

Do the research and you should be able to find out if a target HDD is SMR or not. Whatever you do - avoid the Red Minus by WD!

Let's segment further to muddy the waters... 3 shades of Red now. Soon they can write a book.
