Flex-RAID 6 vertical/horizontal without loss of service? Advantages over X-Raid2 dual redundancy?

XRAID2 only supports a single volume. Also, Flex-RAID supports several raid modes that XRAID2 doesn't use (Raid-10, RAID-50, RAID-60). XRAID2 is more convenient, and has the advantage that the user doesn't need to understand the complexities of the various RAID modes.
There's more information on expansion in the documentation ( http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/READYNAS_OS_6_SM_EN.pdf ), particularly on page 35.
