The new disk is incorporated in the background while you continue to use your system. • If you are adding the disk to a system that uses Flex-RAID, the disk becomes available for use.

For more information about X-RAID, Flex-RAID, and using the local admin page, see the ReadyNAS OS 6 Software Manual, which is available at netgear.com/support/product/ReadyNAS_OS_6.
