ReadyNAS nv+v2 Raid configuration
How can I setup multiple RAID configurations? I have four disks installed in a ReadyNAS NV+ v2. I would like to have Disks 1 and 2 in a RAID 1 configuration. Then Disks 3 and 4 as RAID 0. ...
You did not say if your drives already contain data. Note that while he didn't expressly say so, the process StephenB described will destroy your current volume and any existing data, so you'll need to back it up and restore it after the factory default. Unfortunately, there is no other way on your legacy NAS.
Thank you for the tips. I have tried several times. The first two drive go in as RAID 1, but the system doesn't give me a choice when I add in the third drive, it will aways go in as RAID 1, but without a redundant drive. Then, when I put in the fourth disk, it adds is as a redundant drive to disk 3. I'm a bit frustrated at this point. It seems like I will need to use two NAS servers. One in RAID 1 and another in RAID 0.
Is there anyway to change from RAID 1 to RAID 0 after the third disk is installed?
At this point, I don't have any data that I want to save. I completely remove all partitions before putting the disks in the ReadyNAS.
I am very grateful for any assistance.

Can you confirm that you have a v2 (running 5.3.11 firmware)?
It is v2, however it is running firmware version 5.3.13.
