Dumb hard disks are still fine I'd guess. Just don't go for any "smart", connected or networked device. I have several plain backup HDDs from WD and they, IME, have been more reliable than Seagate from a hardware point of view.

USB HDDs are definitely not a replacement for a lot of NAS use cases.

And a NAS is not a replacement for a backup.
