You can run Plex on either of the two.
Personally if the price is close and you don't feel strongly either way I'd go with the RN422. The RN422 has an Intel CPU and it has a display on the front showing the status of the NAS (if it's asleep a momentary press of a button will wake it up).

The warranty on the RN212 is three years, the warranty on the RN422 is five. So if the pricing is close, I'd get the RN422.
