I was thinking of buying a DAS (like NAS but without network interface, direct USB to PC) as extra backup, but was also thinking to use normal HDs. It should be fine right? since I would use it as daily backup and not much else? I don't want to buy the super expensive NAS HD...

According to the manufacturer's website it's compatible with all SATA drives, it even specifically mentions WD and Seagate

Depending on your backup regimen, I suspect you'll get more reliability for a few euros less by using two independent drives on alternate days instead of RAID1. (Ransomware, Lightning, and Cat can take out both disks in the RAID at once.)

thanks, I already have a NAS RAID1 on network, and of couse cloud backup but I wanted also another backup for a PC with a lot of pics/videos on it :)

From my notes.... Consumer non-NAS disks have issues with timeouts - Time-Limited Error Recovery TLER / ERC / CCTL https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/archives/nas/nas-features/31202-should-you-use-tler-drives-in-your-raid-nas …https://www.abmx.com/blog/what-is-tler …

With TLER the disk limits the amount of time the disk will try to recover from an error by itself, it will instead pass the error up the stack (to the RAID layer) fairly quickly (often 7 seconds?).
