Hi there! No need to worry about "stupid questions"; we're here to help! The Synology DS423+ is indeed a power-efficient NAS that can handle Plex and offers room for upgrades. While it doesn't have official support for the WD Red 20TB drives, you can still use them unofficially with some considerations. Synology's compatibility list ensures optimal performance and reliability, but using drives not on the list can still work. You may see a warning message, but it's generally safe to use them. If you decide to proceed with the WD Red 20TB drives, keep an eye on their performance and stability.
