2. Click the X-RAID button at the right side of the screen.
3. Confirm that you want to switch from X-RAID to Flex-RAID.

Change to a Different Flex-RAID Level
In Flex-RAID mode, you assign one of several RAID levels to your v olume . Available RAID levels depend
on the number of disks that you want the volume to include. For more information, see Flex-RAID on page
22.You can reconfigure your volumes to use a different RAID level.
Changing the RAID level of a volume erases all data. If data is stored on your system,
you must back up the data to another storage device before changing the RAID
level.You cannot change the RAID level of a RAID 0 volume.
Note:
To change to RAID levels:
1. If any data is stored on the volumes that you want to reconfigure, back up your data.
2. Delete the volumes that you want to reconfigure (see Delete a Volume on page 30).
