Adding a drive to ReadyNAS 204 #26877295
I have a readyNAS 204 with 2 drives set as raid1, can I add a 3rd drive and use it as a separate drive?

If you dont want the new drive in the same volume , switch off X-RAID and add the drive . You can create a new volume and use the drive .
Hi jboroden,
Welcome to the community!
From X-RAID2 it'll be on Flex-RAID. Here are some NETGEAR articles that'll help.

NETGEAR Community TeamHi jboroden,
Are you still having issues adding a new drive in your ReadyNAS system?

NETGEAR Community TeamI am getting conflicting answers, some people say I can add a 3rd separate drive, and phone support said it was not possible?, I do not have confidence in the phone support as they had to keep passing me on to other people and it was very hard to understand them (strong accent)
