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
If you increase the size to 4 TB or more, you would have more enterprise-class drive options. You won't see any capacity growth immediately - you'd need to replace both drives to get that.
Other 3 TB options include the Seagate Ironwolf drive (ST3000VN007) and the Western Digital TB WD30EFRX (not the WD30EFAX). They aren't 7200 rpm, but they will work fine.

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

The new Barracuda drives are SMR, which will cause serious performance issues in RAID. Probably a bit less on that generation of NAS without BTRFS, but still not recommended.
The drives do not have to match except in size or the new one can be bigger, though you get no immediate usable space increase. If the rotation speed doesn't match, the NAS might complain (OS6 units do, I don't know about OS5.x), but it should work just fine.
