Want to buy media server. Looking at Synology 2 bay da223 or Equivalent?

[Enquiries]

Is the Synology 2-bay DS223 capable of running this?

What device would you recommend that I could purchase for under $300, and what hard drive would you suggest?

I need something that I can configure fairly easily. I have a low understanding of building this device, so I'm just trying to get something up and running.

Also, I am using a ClonerAlliance device to record streaming shows. Will I be able to put them on the NAS device, and will Plex recognize them, or will I have to treat them like a home movie? Can I do that?

I really don't want to get into recording movies off my computer, so I'm hoping the ClonerAlliance will work.

Lots of questions, appreciate any help you can give.
