Well you would need to buy at least one new disk and copy the data to disk(s) in the NAS then wipe the disk that is formatted with NTFS and add that.
To use a separate volume for each disk you would need to disable X-RAID.
You could:
1. Do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) with one disk in place
2. Go to Volumes in the Dashboard and disable X-RAID
3. Copy data from a disk onto the NAS
4. Add that disk while the NAS is on and destroy the partitions off the disk just added
5. Create a new volume on the disk just added
6. Repeat steps 3-5 for another disk you have formatted with NTFS.
