ReadyNAS314: Adding third disk

I currently have 2 x 4TB drives configured as RAID 1.

I want to add a third 4TB disk for increased capacity but I also want redundancy.

 

However, according to this link I need RAID 5.

 

What do I need to do when I add the third disk or will it automatically change the RAID type?

 

Thanks.
