Manage Volumes
Change RAID Mode
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-RAID2 volume.
Change from X-RAID2 to Flex-RAID
Your ReadyNAS system can easily change a volume from X-RAID2 to Flex-RAID mode. Data
on the X-RAID2 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.
To change from X-RAID2 to Flex-RAID:
1. Select Sy
stem > Volumes.
2. Click the X-
RAID button at the right side of the screen.
3. Confirm that you want to switch from X-RAID2 to Flex-RAID.
The volume switches from X-RAID2 mode to Flex-RAID mode and the indicator on the
X-RAID butt
on turns gray.
The RAID level is automatically assigned based o
n the number of disks that are installed.
