How to get into flex-raid?

On the System>Volume page, click the X-RAID button on the right.

How do I create a RAID-0 then? I must have been looking at old documentation. I followed your previous advice and did switch to Flex-raid.

I switched from X-RAID to Flex-RAID now it says rebuilding in progress. Can I not switch to RAID-0 until the rebuild is done?

Click the new volume that is rebuilding, and click Delete. Then select the disks you want in the array.

EDIT--

THANK You!!! Problem solved. It's building my RAID-0 NOW!!! Thanks much!!

To PowerMan and other users,

There was an article, on the KB about this.

I can understand not documenting much about RAID 0, as there is no redundancy.
I don't want unfamiliar users to opt for it.

So, for example, if you have 4 disks on RAID 0, and one fails, you lose data across all 4.

Yes - which of course is a serious drawback. The only RAID-0 mode that makes much sense is JBOD (sticking with 1 drive per volume).

I understand the drawbacks of RAID-0. However, I use CrashPlan... so if a hard drive were to fail, I simply just do a restore after replacing the broken hard drive.

With the ReadyNAS 314 only having 4 bays, I need to utilize my hard drives to gain the maximum amount of disk space available.

I just got the ReadyNAS setup and I'm restoring all my files now as I type this from CrashPlan :-) 4.6TB of data will only take 6-8 days to restore according to the CrashPlan software (I have a 115Mbps Internet connection).

I would still recommend using jbod. I use CrashPlan also btw.

I guess I didn't know the ReadyNAS supported JBOD? So basically you're saying each drive is setup on it's own then?

To be honest, I'm picky. I hate seeing more than 1 drive letter LOL. I don't like to click around and not know where stuff is :-)

CrashPlan is now at 6.3 days remaining :-) not too shabby for that much data to restore! I pre-paid 4 years in advance too so I don't get hosed like I did in 2011 when Mozy took everyone's unlimited data away. At least with CrashPlan I'll be covered for 4 years. I'm debating if I want to extend it even further :-/ ... but this is getting off topic now LOL
