You may want to check the speed of the WD MyBook (you want disks that are 7200rpm). If the drives are 5400rpm, it may be ideal for data back-up, but not as a work drive for video. For a good solid work drive for video, I’ve always been a fan of G-Tech. They have a 6TB Raid for 600 and change (https://www.g-technology.com/products/g-raid.cfm). I use the 4TB version as my main daily work drive and it’s been great.

I find that things work a little more smoothly with pro res files. In my experience, XDCAM timelines occasionally stall, and render times are longer, as are exports. Problem is, if you have lots of footage, the extra step of transcoding could cost you some time.
