Indeed, the Synology DS220j 2-bay NAS you mentioned would be a suitable option for a local Plex server. It should work well for serving media files within your home network. However, remote access might be a bit challenging due to the lower specifications of this NAS model. If you primarily plan to use Plex locally, it should be sufficient for your needs. Additionally, the NAS features a USB port, allowing you to connect your 16TB Seagate external hard drive for backup purposes or to expand your media library. Overall, this NAS offers a cost-effective solution for your Plex media streaming requirements within the $200-$300 budget range.
