With DS1621+ you can mix different size drives or even create separate RAIDs/Volumes. In a home environment mixing drives will give you the best storage space. You can then later replace smaller drives with bigger ones to gain some extra space. If you used this NAS for VMs, web server, and other IOPS demanding things then I would recommend using same kind of drives. But from home and RAID5 stick with regular WD Red/ Ironwolf drives.I hope this helps.
