one of my three HDD is broken. Could I replace this one with an new HDD from another brand (But same capacity)?
Yes. I recommend using a WD Red Plus, Seagate Ironwolf (both NAS-purposed drives), or an enterprise class drive,
I don't recommend using WD Reds (which are SMR) or desktop-class (which often are SMR). SMR can give you significant performance problems (extremely slow resync times and inconsistent write performance).
If the RPM isn't the same (mixing 7200 with 5400/5900), you might get a warning from the Web UI. However, in my experience it is safe to ignore that warning.
