How to combine two disks
Hello.
I added a second disk (4 TB).
How to combine this disk with first one (1 TB)?

Stephen, thank you for answer.
If I created a storage 5 TB (2 disks, single volume), and in future I will add a new disk 4TB, then total capacity of my single volume will be 9 TB?

If you use RAID-0 then you could do that. The documentation is here: https://www.netgear.com/images/support/WP_ReadyNAS%20FlexRAID%20Optimization%20Guide_18May17.pdf
I don't recommend doing it, for the reasons I gave above. If you choose to use it anyway, it's particularly important to maintain backups of all the files you care about.
