Buying a Synology, newbie questions

#2
If the enclosure of your DS1522+ fails, you can move the drives to another identical DS1522+ or another Synology NAS that supports the same RAID type and number of disks. If you put the drives in the same order as they were in the original DS1522+, the new NAS should be able to recognize the drives and the RAID configuration and boot up as before with all your data intact. However, it's always a good idea to have a backup of your data in case something goes wrong during the migration.

Yes, you can create a shared folder with a size limit and give someone a URL to access it. You can also set up access permissions for the folder, so you can control who can add or remove files. When someone has finished using the folder, you can remove their access to the folder, and they will no longer be able to connect to it. You can also set up folders for family members who are not on your network and give them a URL for access. They don't need to install any Synology software; they can access the folder using a web browser.

If you have two identical Synology setups that are syncing to each other, and you move one to a different physical location, you can still administer it remotely. You can use the Synology QuickConnect feature to access the NAS remotely and perform administrative tasks. You will need to set up QuickConnect on both NAS devices, and you will need to have a Synology account to use the feature.

Yes, you can store your PLEX and iTunes libraries on the NAS and share them over the network. You can run the PLEX server on the NAS, but it's recommended to use a dedicated machine for transcoding, especially if you plan to stream high-resolution videos. The NAS can act as an iTunes server, and you can access your iTunes library from any device on your network.

The "2YS101" is most likely a batch or manufacturing code for the Seagate Ironwolf drives. It's not important for compatibility with the Synology NAS, so you can safely ignore it. The Seagate Ironwolf Pro drives should also work with the DS1522+ as long as they meet the size and type requirements.
