Netgear RND2210v2 – READYNAS DUO v2 (2TB: 2 X 1TB) Software Guide

Change RAID Modes

You can change the RAID mode that your ReadyNAS storage system uses. Because this 
process erases all data, if data is stored on your system, you must first back up the data to 
another storage device before changing the RAID format.

The process involves resetting your ReadyNAS storage system to factory default settings 
and using RAIDar to configure the volume during a 10-minute delay during boot. 

You can reconfigure your ReadyNAS system from Flex-RAID mode to X-RAID2 mode.



If any data is stored on your system, back up your data.

.

Perform a factory reset reboot.

The process for performing a factory reset reboot varies by storage system. For more 
information about how to perform a factory reset reboot, see the ReadyNAS Duo v2 and 
NV+ v2 Hardware Manual.

During the factory reboot process, you have a 10-minute window to choose a RAID 
configuration. RAIDar sends a prompt to click the Setup button during this 10-minute time 
frame.

Launch RAIDar, highlight your storage system, and click the Setup button.
