2 volumes question
I am a newb so am asking a newb question as I want to make real sure before I press on...
I have a ReadyNas NV+. I have 2 2TB drive in slots 1 and 2. They are set up as RAID1, mirroring each other.
I added 2 1TB drives to slots three and 4. They are 'seen' in the Details and also in the Volume menu. I am given the opportunity to Add a New Volume and both drive 3 and 4 show up as candidates. I can select RAID 0 or 1. I assume that I can select RAID 1, and these 3rd and 4th 1TB drives will be set up as a separate volume, meaning I will end up with two "separate" volumes, drives 1 and 2 bound together via RAID 1 (which has been running for a few months now), and drives 3 and 4 bound together via RAID 1.
Do I have this right? Just making real sure before I click away... tx for any advice

Re: 2 volumes question
Yes, you should create a RAID 1 volume using disks 3 and 4.
