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 System > 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 button turns gray.

The RAID level is automatically assigned based on the number of disks that are installed.
