Having external backups is safe in case someone steals your storage device. But it is also not automated and can be forgotten to backup.Having a NAS you can do a 0/1/2/3 approach. And you can even automate backup to another NAS (2 bay +1 bay backup etc.) and also the cloud.Plex server would run better on a Celeron based model like DS420+ / 920+. You would also get an option to upgrade and expand later.There will be also enough power left to run time machines backups and more.I hope this helps.
