Yes without a problem. Personally, I have two hard drives for storage and two SSDs. Both SSDs serve as cache. fast and efficient. In addition, access to the library of applications for Synology's DSM (Disk Station Manager). Sorry for the language is Google Translate.

Good day The NAS also runs with 2.5 inch hard disks and SSDs. Here is a link to the datasheet on the Synology website: https://www.synology.com/de-de/products/DS916+#spec The NAS can also be operated with only one hard disk. (However, then without data security)

As far as I know, the integrated transcoding engine only works with DS Video. Since Plex is not officially supported, you have to switch to DS Video. According to our own experience, Plex can only process one Full HD stream simultaneously and only runs on the CPU.

Not in my opinion. Since 2.5'' HDDs are per se less powerful than 3.5'' HDDs, it makes no sense to buy a high-end model of the Diskstation. In addition, ARM CPUs require less power than Intel Atom CPUs. I would also advise against a configuration of 3 hard disks. A RAID 5 only really makes sense with 4 hard disks, otherwise I would advise a RAID 1 with 2 hard disks. My suggestion for an "eco-build": a 2-bay Synology Diskstation and either 2 economical 3.5 or 2.5 inch HDDs, simply a little larger (2TB).
