5400 RPM or 7200 RPM NAS hard drive for my new DiskStation DS918+?

I bought the DiskStation DS918+ a few minutes ago. Now the next step, which NAS hard drive is enough for this baby. Considering my last question about the 4K HDR transcoding or not, which speed is required? Preferably, I want low power, low noise. I wanted Seagate IronWolf but they don't do more than 4 TB versus WD Red up to 10 TB for 5400 RPM. Otherwise, for Seagate IronWolf 12 TB at 7200 RPM will be my ultimate choice but I'm scared of the decibel level it will generate next in the same room has my home theatre.

I will run a Plex Server, 1 Time Machine backup and manage 4-6 web sites for personal uses.

I needs some guidance to finalize my investment.

Thank you very much in advance!
