I spent hours trying to figure out how to set up a raid 0 when you still 2 hard disks. Unfortunately after reading several forums posts, I found out that there is a bug which doesn&#8217;t allow you to setup raid 0 unless you have 4 drives installed.<br \/>\nInitially I only had 2 drives and I couldn&#8217;t get the raid 0 option, but after installing 4 drives I did have the option of setting them up as raid 0. The only downside of using raid 0 is that if one of the hard disks fails, then you lose the data across all the other drives.<br \/>\nThe other issue that I encountered was when adding two additional drives to the enclosure. I originally had 2 x 2TB drives and these were not configured with any raid settings.<br \/>\nI had two 1TB external drives that I decided to add to the NAS but when trying to format each of the drives I kept getting the error &#8220;Failed to operate disk. Please resubmit after restart&#8221;.<\/p><!--CusAds0-->\n<p>After spending hours trying to resolve this problem I ended up doing the following:<\/p>\n<p>1. removed the original drives in bay 1 and 2.<br \/>\n2. inserted the 1TB drives in bay 1 and 2<br \/>\n3. In the web admin management pages, clicked on System &#8211; Restore and Erase.<br \/>\n4. Clicked on Erase and let the system erase the HHD.<\/p>\n<p>When the system restarted I moved the 1TB drives to bay 3 and 4 and reinserted the original 2TB to bay 1 and 2.<\/p>\n<p>After following these instructions I was able to create shares and was able to access the drives.<\/p>\n<p>Hope this also helps another poor soul.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lt-box\" style=\"border:1px solid #1d6a9e\"><div class=\"lt-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#2485C6;border-top:1px solid #a7cee8;text-shadow:1px 1px 0 #0b283b\">DO YOU LIKE WHAT YOU'VE READ?<\/div><div class=\"lt-box-content\">Join our subscription list and receive our content right in your mailbox.
