Rndu2000 no delete volume
Hello,
following the topic below I went to page 48 to have a single volume of 2 GB instead of two volumes of 1 GB.
The problem is, I don't have the delete volume button. How do I make this button appear ?
Regards,

You are running XRAID now, and have a single RAID-1 volume of 1 TB.
To change to a 2 TB RAID-0 volume, you have to do a factory default and then switch to FlexRAID using RAIDar 4.3.8. You will need a full backup of the data, because the factory default will reformat the disks. After the default, you will need to configure the NAS and restore all the files from your backup.
You can do the factory default from this screen:
Though if I were in your shoes, I'd just purchase two larger disks and stick with XRAID. You can expand the existing array without losing your data.
FWIW, I don't recommend having one RAID-0 volume that spans multiple disks. The reason is that when either disk fails you lose all the files on both drives. You'd be better off going with 2 volumes (C and D), and put some shares on each.

Great I succeeded !
Thank you for the quick reply. I am aware that it is better to be in RAID 1, but this is a remote NAS, I already have a local RAID 0 NAS, it is a NAS Backup in case of fire at home :)
