How much does a drives RPM make a difference?
I have two ReadyNAS NV+ units that I use in a home environment. One of the NV+ units is used to back up some (but not all) of the data from the primary NV+ unit. I have 5 Macs, two AppleTVs, two TiV...
The NVX is a discontinued product. The NVX (not Pioneer) has business features and a 5 year warranty. The NVX Pioneer and the Ultra have a 3 year warranty and don't have business features. I would go with the Pro 4 over the NVX, the NVX over the Ultra 4 Plus, The Ultra 4 Plus over the Ultra 4 and the Ultra 4 over the NVX Pioneer.
However do note that the NVX is 32-bit, whereas the Ultra and Pro are 64-bit. If happy with the 3 year warranty of the Ultra 4 and lack of business features (AD, NIC Bonding/Teaming, Rsync over SSH etc.) then the Ultra 4 is definitely better choice than the NVX. The Pro Series devices (not the discontinued Pro Pioneer) give the best of both, 64-bit CPU, business features and 5 year warranty.
Regarding Plex take a look at (http://www.readynas.com/plex). If you want to do transcoding to an iPad, I would strongly recommend the Pro 6 (RNDP6000-200). The Pro 6 has a fast CPU that can transcoding 1080p to the iPad. The Ultra 6 Plus (RNDP600U-200) can do 720p transcoding. Take a look at CPU Specs of the ReadyNAS
