Yes, DS1522+ can be upgraded with 10gbe card. This would allow much faster data transfer speeds. The predecessor is still popular (DS1520+) thanks to its built in graphics chip. If your TV supports all video files, then transcoding is not required. Any NAS will serve well as a Plex server. Synology is one of the leading NAS brands, I would not worry about Drobo situation happening again. Synology and Terramaster are the only brands that allow drive mixing just like Drobo. Those old drives you have would work with Synology, They are simply not recommended if they are not specifically NAS type of drives.
I hope this helps.
