Both x-raid and single disk

X-RAID2 only allows one volume. To expand your volume you would need to add a 3TB or higher capacity disk.

Is it posible to use raid5 instead of x-raid? I mean if this will allow me to add my 2 TB disk?

or if i attach it to the usb port mayby

You could switch to using Flex-RAID but that would require a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) so you would need to backup your data before doing this. When you initiate the factory default there will be a 10 minute window in which you can open RAIDar, click Setup and choose the RAID mode.

Thats fine to wipe all, i just have to copy 5 TB back to my old datastore. :-)

So you think if i choose flex-raid i can use raid5 with my three 3TB disk and then use my single 2 TB disk as a non reduntant disk.

If you are doing a factory reset anyway, you could also stick with XRAID2. The NAS won't let you add a smaller drive to the XRAID array, but it will build a clean array with the all the drives installed.

I have now done the new flex-raid array and still i only can use my three disks. In raidator i can see all four disk but in the webinterface under volume i only see the three raid5 disks.

Can it be that this nas cannot have more then one raidset at the same time?

I have NOT tested like Stephen said, install all disk first and then let nas create a raid5 of the three disk and then i mayby can let the last disk be my single disk.

I did like you said mdgm, but that didn´t work.

Is there someone here that have really set up two different raidset on this nas?

You can have up to four volumes (up to 2 can include any given disk).

You should see under Volumes the option to add a volume.

Can you post a screenshot (e.g. uploaded to imageshack.us)?

here is the screenshot, sorry it is in swedish

Go to the "Lägg till volym" tab (shown in the second screenshot at the top left).
