RAID is not a backup.
RAID is uptime.
It just means you can lose a drive, and keep running "business as usual" until you can replace it. In this case, you can lose two drives before you're at risk of data loss with a third drive loss. It's very, very expensive overhead to ensure you don't have any disruption. In a business environment, that's almost 100% necessary. Personally? You'd probably be fine with RAID parity of 1x drive --- and have extra volume space available.
But RAID is not a backup. You absolutely need to keep backups of the NAS data elsewhere.

RAID is not a backup.
RAID is uptime.
It just means you can lose a drive, and keep running "business as usual" until you can replace it. In this case, you can lose two drives before you're at risk of data loss with a third drive loss. It's very, very expensive overhead to ensure you don't have any disruption. In a business environment, that's almost 100% necessary. Personally? You'd probably be fine with RAID parity of 1x drive --- and have extra volume space available.
But RAID is not a backup. You absolutely need to keep backups of the NAS data elsewhere.

However, someone with more knowledge of this might be better equipped to share.
The CPU doesn't have native h.264/h.265 decoding so if you have to transcode it going to grind the CPU.
If every device you will be watching Plex with has native support for these then it should be fine on a local network.
Personally, I would use this for storage and offload Plex hosting to another device that can handle transcoding.

Not sure if this CPU has it's own iGPU, even if it did Plex isn't designed to use AMD's iGPU and only Intel's currently.
If you want to transcode your videos to smaller screens, you'll need another device like that BeeLink mini PC https://slickdeals.net/f/16876073-beelink-mini-s12-pro-mini-pc-intel-12th-gen-n100-16gb-ddr4-500gb-ssd-169-free-shipping?v=1&p=
or have the client device play the video directly without transcoding.
