NV+ won't boot with new harddrive in
One of my drives started throwing errors a couple weeks ago, but I wanted to let it go as long as possible to see if the error count would keep climbing or not. Once I saw the errors were going to kee...
Yes you can run Plex Media Server on the 316 and also the 516.
The 300 series doesn't support VT-x so you can't run 64-bit VMs directly on that. However you could run a 32-bit VM.
The 516 has VT-x, however we don't support running VMs directly on the ReadyNAS (we do support using e.g. the 300 series, 516 etc. as a datastore e.g. for ESXi). There is however some info on the forums about installing Virtualbox on the 516 if you are comfortable with SSH and fixing problems if you have issues.
If you do go down the route of running VMs directly on the ReadyNAS then RAM can become important too. The 4GB in the 516 is plenty for normal NAS use. We don't support RAM upgrades but you can put 16GB (2x8GB) ECC RAM in the 516. The 716x comes with 16GB RAM.
It's also important to note that if you run VMs directly on a NAS that reduces the resources available for normal NAS tasks and may impact performance. So it could take some configuration and testing to decide how much to allocate to your VM.
An important thing with SSH hacks is to remember to store stuff on the data volume wherever possible using a config change and/or symlinks where needed. The OS partition is 4GB.
