Thanks a lot StephenB!
i have some questions to your answer:
You: Don't get a new Barracuda.
Me: You mean, the new models are not affidable? or is the performance bad?
You: If you want a 7200 rpm model, you can go with the Exos (ST3000NM005) https://www.newegg.com/seagate-enterprise-capacity-3-5-st3000nm0005-3tb/p/1Z4-002P-00148
Me: Thanks, but this means, i have to change the second disk too, or will this be combatile and working in Mirror-Raid mode too?
My wish is to spend as little as possible and have a mirrored raid sistem again

New 3 TB Barracuda drives are SMR drives, which are not well-suited to use in RAID arrays. So the performance will not be good.

You can continue to use the second Barracuda.
