Read the data spec for how many in an array?
Literally the reason for WD RED NAS and NAS Pro (beyond some other tech specs).
I bought these before the red drives even existed.
Not a reason to not read the data spec.
If they not mention it there, it can be expected to run it in a single bay environment and not in an array environment.

These drives had a high failure rate whether they were in a raid array or just on their own. I get that they weren't designed for raid, but just using them in an array didn't cause them to fail.
