hardware manual for your system, which is available at
www.netgear.com/support/product/ReadyNAS_OS_6.
2. Log in to the local admin page.
3. Select System > Volumes.
The page updates, showing the volumes.

5. Select the unallocated disks to add to the volume.
When you select disks, additional buttons appear on the volume. The active buttons
change as you add disks.
6. Click the Add Group button.
Note: Which buttons are active depends on the volume and the number of disks
selected.
The Add Group window opens. Depending on the existing number of disks, the
RAID type, and the number of disks added, new groups can be RAID 0/stripped to
the existing disks, or concatenated to the existing disks.

(Optional) Click the RAID0/Stripe button or the Concatenated button.
8. Click the Apply button.
The volume expands immediately but requires a resync, which starts immediately.
The volume display includes a resync progress bar.
