How is X-RAID or hybrid RAID different than regular RAID levels?
With X-RAID, none of those administrative tasks are required. Instead, with X-RAID, your volume automatically expands to accommodate additional disks or larger-capacity disks. With X-RAID, you can start out with one hard disk, add a second disk for data protection, and add more disks for additional storage capacity.

What is Xraid 2?
in a three-disk system, the usable storage space is two disks. in general, the total capacity of your storage system equals the capacity of all your disks minus the capacity of one disk. X-raiD2 also allows for the automatic expansion of volume size when you replace a disk drive with a larger capacity drive.
What is Flex RAID?
Flexible Raid (also called Flex) is a raid system integrated into Raid Finder, Normal, and Heroic modes. It allows for raid content to automatically scale its difficulty depending on how many players are in the raid at the time the bosses are encountered—between 10 and 30 players.

RAID 1.
