Hi Suzanb,
Welcome to the Community!
By default, the ReadyNAS uses X-RAID which automatically sets the volume to RAID 5 when it has 3 or 4 disks in it.
Your volume setup is possible by switching your volume from X-RAID to FlexRAID and create two RAID 1 volumes for each pair of disks. You may do that by logging in to the NAS admin page then go to System > Volumes, then click the X-RAID button at the right side of the page. After confirming that you want to switch to FlexRAID, the X-RAID button indicator will turn gray.
You will then delete the existing volume, then create two RAID 1 volumes for each pair of disks. For a detailed step on how to create the volume, you may check the page 35-36 of the user manual (https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/READYNAS_OS_6_SM_EN.pdf).
