I have a DNS-321 NAS drive which apparently runs Linux, so I logged in via ssh and I see .Trash-500 and .Trash-1000 directories. I realize that they're for trash, but why do I need two? Inside of them I see expunged, files, and info directories -- what are those for?

You can find the answers in the The FreeDesktop.org Trash specification:
Some excerpts:
$topdir/.Trash-$uiddirectory is to be used as the user's trash directory for thisdevice/partition.$uidis the user's numeric identifier.The
$trash/filesdirectory contains the files and directories that were trashed.The
$trash/infodirectory contains an “information file” for every file and directory in$trash/files.
There is no reference to expunge directory, though.
