Are WD RED Plus noisy? Go for new shuckable drive like WD Elements 8TB or 3.5" nas drive? (zerobytes.monster)

I have WD40EFZX and its quite noisy while browsing thumbnails(idk if its failing, been running for 15k hours, 98 power on counts, 17k load/unload cycles). I'd like to upgrade by buying one drive for backup thats going to be mostly in sleep (spun up once a day for something like volume shadow copy) or off if its USB DAS drive, should I go with shuckable drive or 3.5" nas drive? I'm trying to keep 4TB of important data on at least 2 copies until I can afford more storage, ecc ram and zfs in something like raid 6 with one offsite backup.
