I just ordered some WD Reds and a Synology box a couple of days ago, not knowing about this issue. Should I cancel the HDDs and go for another brand, or will I be okay if I don’t use ZFS?

IIRC EFAX are affected while EFRX are not.

Not all WD Reds are affected, only certain ones. Check first to see whether the ones you ordered are SMR or not.
