Upgrade to Ultra 4 Plus, Max storage capacity

X-RAID2 on 2-bay and 4-bay ReadyNAS is the single-redundancy variant. The dual-redundant option is available on the 6-bay systems, but there is the option to use Flex-RAID RAID-10 on 4-bay systems.
3. Be sure to choose disks from the Hard Disk HCL. NetGear can and will deny support if you use drives outside this list. You can use multiple different drive models in the NAS.
4. As mentioned by StephenB. Link Aggregation is only available on the Pro line. Even if it was on the Ultra models you'd be unlikely to see much (if any) of a performance benefit anyway (with the exception of the Ultra 6 Plus). For a performance benefit from teaming you need to choose a mode that provides a performance benefit and have multiple client machines accessing the NAS simultaneously and using different protocols. It is possible to install a community add-on to enable Teaming on the Ultra/Ultra Plus models but this is unsupported. I use it and find it works for me on the Ultra 6 but this is not for the average user.
