I love my Roku and don't want to have to run a separate second computer just for Plex.

Just hit my 1521+ last month.
FWIW, Synology was zero help.
Imho that's way better than ACTUALLY charging a per-year subscription. If Syno ever did that, they'd lose tons of customers.
The hardware isn't mass-produced as much as standard PC parts, so it probably costs a little more than you might think for just the hardware bays and power supply. On the plus side it's engineered specifically for NAS duties and has an idle wattage of something like 25 watts, well below most PCs, especially older-parts PCs. This model has ECC for better stability and anti-corruption from memory errors. If you've ever tried to make your own cheap NAS with old server parts, you'd know how expensive it is to try to get both power efficiency and ECC at the same time. Use old parts? Lose power efficiency. But newer parts cost more.
Btw, if you want a prebuilt, think twice about buying NASes made in China, which does lots of shady hacking of stuff with or without backdoors to hardware. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/us...g-critical Companies like UGREEN have to do everything China's government says, if push comes to shove. I recommend sticking to Taiwanese brands ASUS, Synology, QNAP.

A simple search shows a ton of people having issues with the Ryzen based Synology boxes and transcoding high bitrate 4k video. If you're not having issues, great! But a lot are due to the changeover and it's worth acknowledging.

Have been using it in my DS1821+ for the past two years.

If you screw things up enough, you can lose data, or open the door to hackers, or any number of issues.
Also you aren't going to save as much money on DIY as you might think, especially in high-energy-costs states like CA, because old server parts are cheap but energy guzzlers, new ones are expensive, and non-server parts don't have ECC and also tend to be energy guzzlers. And in all cases they tend to eat way more energy than you might think, because most PC power supplies were built for higher loads, and become very inefficient at lower loads.

These folks use a lot of circular and backwards logic to justify what they're doing, but it all comes down to a simple fact -- it's not legal.
