I dont ever recall being given any options to choose which raid setup I wanted originally (with the 1TB drives). I just did the factory reset and let it do its own thing.
What happens then depends on the details.
With your NAS there is a ~5 minute window after you start the reset where you choose a RAID mode. You do that by clicking on the setup button in the the RAIDar application. After you pick a RAID mode you'd go continue with the normal NAS setup. Since you definitely are using flexraid, I think that must be what you did.
If you don't use RAIDar to set up the NAS (for instance if you just access the NAS via your browser), or the 5 minute window ends, then the system will just use the default XRAID.
FWIW, OS 6 handles this differently.

It does. But the screen shot should say X-RAID....
Try doing another factory reset (perhaps from the admin ui).
