What can I do with a PLEX server?

Depends upon the RAID level, of course, but this implies that the disk initialization and the controller on, say a Drobo (software RAID), are exactly the same as those on a Pegasus (hardware RAID).

See: https://superuser.com/questions/110...-it-possible-to-move-the-hdds-to-a-new-server

"If you are using an on-board RAID controller, this is where things can get tricky. You have specified that you will be moving between different hardware, so if you were moving from say an Adaptec RAID controller to a 3Ware controller, then the chances of survival are minimal. If both the boards have the same brand of controller, they may be able to read the meta-data off the disks and re-create the array."

My initial comment was about Synology.
