RND4000 (ReadyNAS NV+ v1) - add more disk to get more than 2 volumes?

If you have two volumes, that means you're in Flex-RAID mode. So if you insert a new HDD, it won't be automatically added to an existing volume.
Insert the new HDD and you will be able to create a third volume.

Pretty much a waste of time, since it's not been updated for some years now.
Western Digital Reds and Seagate Ironwolf are good choices for your NAS. The NV+ v1 is limited to 2 TB.
