Blue Flashing Night to NAS
I have a NAS RN10200 (which I got second hand). I've put a 2 and a 3 Tb disk in and tried to start the NAS... The blue light comes on but then after a short while now flashed continually? The sec...

(Unless regression in 6.7.0)
If the user manual says that, then the user manual needs to be updated ^^
In Flex-RAID, you can indeed aggregate several disks into a single volume.
Technically, it just makes several BTRFS devices inside the same BTRFS volume.
+ no loss in volume capacity
+ it's possible to use disks of mixed capacity
+ single volume is more convenient to manage
- no redundancy

The manual is technically correct. You can only create a JBOD volume with one disk. But once it's created, you can expand it with another single-disk JBOD component in Flex-RAID mode.
