JBOD to X-RAID2 on a 104
I have a RN104 with a 4Tb drive (6.2.0) (currently pretty full, 525GB free of 3.49TB, but I may be able to free ~1.6 TB). I am waiting for delivery of 2 x 4TB (WD-Red). I wish to have a simple X-RAID...

xraid2 is an application on top of normal RAID. It automatically changes from jbod to raid-1 to raid-5 as you add more disks.
So as I said above, adding the first disk adds redundancy (and the volume is in fact converted to RAID-1 under xraid2 management). Adding the third disk will increase space while preserving the redundancy (and the volume is converted again to RAID-5 under xraid2 management).
