Synology functionality is similar to Drobo, just better. You can also mix different drives and easily expand storage space when you need to. You also get an easy remote access via Synology VPN. You can not use those old drives without formatting. You will need to figure out a backup. If you go for plus series models such as DS220+/ DS720+ you can not only stream videos locally but also remotely. This is thanks to the built-in graphics chip.
I hope this helps.
