If you are experiencing issues with Plex on your Synology DS423+, it could be due to the large amount of content being added at once. Optimizing the database once you finish adding everything might help improve performance. As for the spare 128GB NVMe SSD, installing it as a cache device (SSD caching) can potentially enhance Plex performance by accelerating frequently accessed data. However, since you are primarily using the NAS for Plex, the benefit may not be significant, especially if you already have fast drives. You can consider using the SSD for other purposes like a dedicated cache for file transfers or as a separate volume for specific applications or files.
