I download anime and movies to the NAS drive as recommended by you, right? 1 tb should be enough... I guess
After its done, I almost immediately stop seeding it and move them to my other 3 Tb hdd for storage, normal hdd should be good , right?
Your computer have few sata port? Using Windows 10? Then you can create raid-1, or mirroring as how Windows prefer to call it. Basically it use 2 hard disk to have the exact same image copy of data between the 2, so if one hard disk fail the other still have a copy. Read this to understand more
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-set-mirr...ancy-windows-10When create raid, don't create the volume to it's max size. Decrease by few GB. Even though all brand say theirs is 3TB HDD, by bytes count is still different. To ensure max compatibility to use any brand hdd in future, decrease by few GB. This is for your storage, you should have another HDD for your frequent access to read the data.
But most important is to stop knocking the table. Knock and vibration is the number one cause for HDD failing.

I have few files that are inaccessible, and corrupted... Is it started to die?
Most likely. Better to backup your data to a new drive.
