    The NAS will need to format the disks so make sure your backup is up to date first.

     

    Yes, if you disable X-RAID and destroy (wipes all data) the default volume you can create a separate volume for each disk.

    When you are using a separate volume for each disk it is even more important than it would be otherwise to regularly backup. With non-redundant volumes if a disk fails, you will lose all the data on the volume using that disk.
