I have a synology ds224+ which I want to use as a Plex server. I currently have 6TB of movies , music and photos currently backed up to an 8tb seagate hdd external.

I’m not planning to use RAID, but will back up the NAS to an external HDD, probably the same one initially.

Does it make more sense to buy 2 x 8tb wd red plus for the NAS or one 12tb now and another 12tb when its full?

Also, can I just re-use the seagate/wd externals that I’m using now by shucking them and putting them in the NAS? Or do I need proper NAS disks
