That's excactly what I expected how it's working when buying the RN204. But this device is now on it's way back to Amazon and my new QNAP 431+ is initializing the disks right now!

I don't think that Netgear should try to turn flexraid into xraid myself.
What I'd like to see is the ability to create volumes using the unused space.
For instance with 2x4TB+1x2TB+1x3TB, I should be able to create a

2x1TB RAID-1 volume +
1x1TB jbod volume
And all of them should support encryption.
That's excactly what I expected how it's working when buying the RN204. But this device is now on it's way back to Amazon and my new QNAP 431+ is initializing the disks right now!
