I want to create a RAID 5 with 5 x 2 TB HDDs and add another 2TB later as the 6th HDD has failed and while waiting for a replacement, want to configure the NAS with this RAID. Is it possible to expand the RAID later to 6 x 2TB when I receive the replacement? I had it on XRAID2 before but don't need the dual redundancy since it will only be used to back do daily bakcups on the main Pro 6 which is on XRAID2 with 6 x 3TB HDDs. Thanks.

XRAID2 is still what you want (with 5 disks installed). You won't get dual-redundancy unless you specify that when you insert the 6th disk later.
