Thanks for reaching out, and I'm glad you've found the videos helpful!
Synology currently only offers the DS423+ with a transcoding chip, and there are no plans to release larger models with this feature. Given your needs, you have a couple of options:
Combine NAS Units: You can use the DS423+ for its transcoding capabilities and combine it with another Synology NAS to expand your storage capacity. This setup allows you to leverage the strengths of both devices.
Consider QNAP: Alternatively, you might look into QNAP NAS models equipped with Celeron or Core i series processors. These models provide robust transcoding capabilities and can handle more intensive tasks, potentially offering a more seamless experience for your Plex server needs.
As for your old DS1515+, since you've already checked the power supply and replaced components without success, it might be best to consider recycling it through Synology or local electronic waste disposal facilities. You could also repurpose it for non-critical storage or testing purposes.
