since the drives are empty anyway why do i need to wait 26 hours on a sync ?
A RAID array is a virtual disk that provides raw block storage. Every block on the physical disks needs to be either read or written when the array is created - that is needed to construct the parity blocks that provide RAID redundancy. The fact that the file system "on top" of the virtual disk is empty doesn't matter - the process is the same whether the file system is full or empty.
There's no way around this step. You can start to put data onto the NAS while it is resyncing, but I suggest waiting until it's done. The NAS performance is slower during the resync, and copying files onto the NAS now will also make the resync take longer.

You can select NETGEAR X86 refers to the family of processors (Intel,AMD) while x64 is the current computer architecture which is 64-Bit. Most Intel and AMD processors now supports 32 and 64 bit
The NETGEAR Package for 64 Bit is .deb which is an extension for Linux Debian which ReadyNAS uses.

Plex originally distributed the server through Netgear, but later on they decided to distribute it directly.
You install the app you downloaded using the upload control on the apps page of the web admin ui. After you install it, it will show up in the admin web ui (complete with toggle switch).
