ds1520+ upgrades and expansion suggestions

#2
Certainly, diving into upgrades for your DS1520+ is a smart move. If the Cache Advisor feature in DSM suggests the need for cache, go for it – it can significantly boost performance. As for RAM, while additional memory is beneficial, it's not a necessity unless you're running low. Regarding the DX517 expansion, you can use lower capacity drives like 5 x 10TB, but keep in mind they'll need to be set up in a separate RAID configuration. Expanding an existing RAID via an expansion unit requires using the same or larger drives as the original RAID setup. Your primary use case with Plex looks solid, and if you're on the lookout for more NAS options or upgrades, the NAS Finder tool (https://nascompares.com/nas-builder/) can help. And hey, with Black Friday deals in full swing, it's a great time to explore any additional accessories or upgrades: https://amzn.to/3QRCZyL. Happy upgrading!
