Do you have a v1 or a v2? Use this guide to tell: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how ... -or-nv-v2/
The broad answer to your question is that the NAS uses XRAID by default. If you didn't explicitly tell the NAS to use flex-raid, adding more drives will result in the NAS converting your RAID-1 array to Raid-5.
If you really want two RAID-1 volumes you will need to go through the setup again, this time choosing flex-raid. Note that will be starting over, wiping your data and config. I suggest reading the manual before doing this.
