Mix Raid setup in one NAS
I have two ReadyNAS devices (NX+ and 314)
Both are currently set up with 2 hard drives in a RAID 0 config and hold 'transient' files (hence no need for redundancy)

Hi mxh
Welcome to the Community!
You have NVX or NV+? You can do that setup by setting your NAS to Flex-RAID, this way it will allow you to setup more than one volume. However with OS4 you might need to perform a Factory reset in order to change to Flex-RAID. Please see RAIDiator 4.1 manual but with OS 6 you will just have to switch from X-RAID to Flex-RAID by ticking a button. Please see OS 6 manual.
Once on Flex-RAID you will be able to create a new volume for the additional two disks you will add. See OS 6 Manual on page 30 and RAIDiator 4.1 Manual page 20.
Hope this helps!

If you are already running RAID-0 with two disks, the systems are already running Flex-RAID.
Generally I don't recommend RAID-0 volumes that span multiple disks, as they are very fragile - when either disk fails you lose all the data on both drives. If you do a factory reset for some reason, you might consider splitting that volume into two (one per disk).
