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...

If the user manual says that, then the user manual needs to be updated ^^
It certainly does say it.
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.

Except that this is not what the manual says...

JBOD.This most basic RAID level does not protect your data from loss if one of your drives fails. JBOD is available only on volumes consisting of a single hard disk.The manual doesn't say this is the limitation for volume creation, the manual says that JBOD is only available with single disk volume. Not once is the word "create" used in this section of the manual.

That's the way I read it too. Note that in addition to the quote above, Table 1 and Table 3 both clearly say that a JBOD volume can have only 1 disk..
There's another bug also. Table 1 and Table 3 both have columns titled Can I add a disk for data protection? The answers for JBOD are contradictory.
- Table 1: No. (JBOD is available only for volumes consisting of one disk)
- Table 3: Yes. Converts to RAID 1. (Additional disk provides redundancy.)
