I know a lot of folks are #Selfhosting big storage here, so this is a question for you!
Also, I follow you @stefano and @gyptazy and know you have hands on experience with this, hence the tagging.

I plan to upgrade my #Proxmox storage with 4 12+TB disk (mostly for expendable data, don't really care if I lost lot data if a disk dies, but they will be in #zfs raidz-1).

So for my current budge I'm thinking about buying WD Red Pro 12TB or I also found Toshiba Enterprise MG Series 20TB (MG10ACA20TE).

Do you recommend any of this, or can you help me find better disks?

Thanks for your help!
