I would recommend the WD Red Plus drives as they are quieter compared to pro drives. Additionally, an NVMe cache is not typically useful for home use, it is more suited for offices with many users or for video editors. The Synology DS420+ is a good choice for those who need a multimedia-friendly NAS as it has no restrictions on the apps you can install on it.
When choosing NVMe for caching you need to look at reliability ratings such as DWPD/MTBF. Here are a few on the list

Caching means a lot of read and write operations, unlike regular storage situation.
You would need to look at models with 0.5DWPD and above
970 pro – 0.66DWPD
Synology SNV3400 – 0.68DWPD
Seagate FireCuda 510 – 0.7 DWPD
Seagate IronWolf 525 – 0.7 DWPD
Seagate Firecuda 530 – 0.7 DWPD
Seagate PS5 Game drive – 0.7 DWPD
Seagate FireCuda 520 -0.9 DWPD
WD Red SN700 – 1.0DWPD
I hope this helps.
