NV+ RAID Questions
I have poured over docs and posts but I just want to be double triple sure before embarking so am asking a redundant question I know... apologizies. I have an NV+. 2 drives running in bays 1 and 2...
How do I get to RAID1 however..?
Here is a post I drafted which is redundant, but it will repost and hope someone replies:

I have an NV+. 2 drives running in bays 1 and 2, X-RAID. Everything working A-ok.
However, I would like to reconfigure the device to do the following:
Would like bays 1 and 2 to be RAIDed, mirrored. Would like to know that if one drive fails, the other will maintain file integrity, meaning it will keep going until the failed drive is replaced.
Would like to run bays 3 and 4 independently, meaning 1+2 tied together, and 3 and 4 operating independently which essentially makes for 3 drives. (looking to have 1 and 2 as 1TB drive, and the other two drives being either 750s or 2TBs, not sure yet).
This possible with I believe is RAID1 for 1 and 2? Or, not? If not, would I need to bind 1+2, then 3+4?
Or, can someone steer me right?
Note: I know I have to pull off all current data and install the NV+ from factory reset to change from X-RAID to Flex.
