You can manage volumes on your ReadyNAS system. You can add or delete volumes from the system.
Additionally, you can change the volume’s RAID mode and level, check volume status, perform volume
maintenance, and configure volume protection.You can also extend the storage capacity on you ReadyNAS
system.

You can change the RAID mode that your ReadyNAS storage system uses. By default, your system’s hard
disks are configured into a single X-RAID volume.

Your ReadyNAS system can easily change a volume from X-RAID to Flex-RAID mode. Data on the X-RAID
volume is preserved when you switch to Flex-RAID. The RAID level of the resulting Flex-RAID volume is
automatically assigned based on the number of disks that are installed.
