Yes. As long as the data isn't corrupted or encrypted where you don't have the key.

Forgive my ignorance, but my QNAP died last week. Can I just put the two drives in from the old one and have my data be there, or will I have to format them?

more than enough, this is a capable file server, even for SOHO use.
Synology had the "friendlier OS" way back but QNAP has closed the gap.

Use direct play mode as this won’t do transcoding effectively.
If all you want is plex, you can save money just buying a raspberry pi and attach a couple external USB drives in raid1..

For streaming only, yes it will do just fine. Transcoding on the fly with Plex will not work on this NAS

I don't think RAM is upgradable on this model. I have older version and I couldn't upgrade ram.
Max memory on qnaps page shows 1gb ram.

How's Qnap versus Synology? I'm looking for something with a simple OS, easy to manage. Plex server support would be a bonus. I have too much media between my devices, I think it's time to centralize...

I have an older version of this and use Macrium Reflect. In short, it is way better than "good enough"...if you're wanting something just to run backups against, get an external HDD. If you want to...

Is this good enough for just backing up using Macrium Reflect? I don't need streaming capabilities.
