Yes you can use Flex-RAID.
Consider the SeaGate NAS drives.
If you use the drives outside the compatibility list it is even more important than otherwise to keep a good backup.

I also have the NVX Business Edition and need to replace a failing disc, with the intention of buying a third and considering upgrading them from 1TB.
Seagate have confirmed that they no longer produce the 1TB ST31000340NS, although they still appear to be available through retailers.
I'm willing to change brands if necessary, but want to know the best 1TB and 2TB drives (with Rotation Vibration Safeguard) to consider for the NVX from the Hardware Compatibility List, and to clarify the spec listed in the cache column. Is this how much the disc can process/transfer, and does it mean a disc listed as 64MB won't work in a x86 NAS like the NVX?
