In short, yes. Back in early 2020 I installed a NAS at a clients site and hard drives were hard to get as well as expensive. There are 25 PC's and laptops that get full image backups every night with an 8 day retention using ABB. Previously they were being backed up using MS Home Servers installed in VM's and all total the space used was only 2TB. Caught a deal on some 6TB WD Blue drives (CMR) and installed those and they have run 24/7 without error. For your light duty use, there's no need for a heavy-duty Enterprise grade hard drive.
In a previous post, I commented about having to replace two Toshiba N300 Enterprise grade hard drives today that failed after 18mo. So go with price and CMR technology. My bias / experience with hard drives is go with WD Red's for reliability, Seagates for price.
