X-RAID is Netgear’s eXpandable RAID technology that allows you to expand the size of your hard drive both horizontally (by adding more drives) and vertically (by replacing smaller drives with larger drives).
x-raid2 is just version 2. in some firmware although ver 2 is employed the term x-raid is still used to distinguish from flexi raid
x-raid is default u dont have to select when set up, and if u have 4 disk or more the system will default to raid 6
of course u can turn to flexi raid by destroying the volume and choose other raid levels or no raid such as jbod

OK so it's RAID-6 XRAID as you can imagine it's a bit confusing when you see both phrases on screen and no mention of XRAID2 whatsoever.
