I like the Seagate ST4000VN000. Amazon sells them for around $160 each.

Re: Which drive
I'm also happily running with Seagate NAS HDD (ST4000VN000). They are a little more expensive than the standard version but what you will spend you will get it back on the power bill. The extended warranty and their thermal performance are other advantages compared to normal disks.
I heard WD green drives had problems with their heads parking too often. There are utilities to change that. I don't know about WD red versions.

Re: Which drive
Using 6x WDC WD4000FYYZ-01ULB0 4TB in RN516. Very easy to install and running without problems or incidents for over a year now. From the 24 TB, 17 TB remains for data.
The only thing I noticed is that the middle ones in the disk stack are always a couple degrees higher in temperature. Eventually, when the disks will get older, those might be the first to go. MTBF is 1.200.000 hours, so it's too soon to worry about that 🙂
