If hardware transcoding is a top priority for you and the difference in cost between the DS423+ and DS923+ is minimal, it may be worth considering the DS423+ for both your data storage and Plex server needs. However, if you value the advanced features of the DS923+ and can manage without hardware transcoding, you could opt for a separate DS220+ for video playback and the DS923+ for data storage.
