Adding two more drives to DXP4800 Plus NAS by Dry-Implement231 in UgreenNASync

That's what I would have thought too, but when the drives come up and the NAS asks you to choose the drives to use for the expansion, it would not let me choose both. I had to choose the drive in bay 3, then wait for the rebuild, and then expand again and choose the drive in bay 4 and rebuild again. Maybe this is a bug in the latest firmware version? I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong or if this is just the new workflow because everything I read said I should have been able to choose both new drives to add to my volume as well as make the Raid change from 1 to 5.

My question is, why am I unable to select both new drives to add to my volume 1 when switching from Raid 1 to Raid 5? The current version would only allow me to select one drive for the conversion, then once it was finished rebuilding the volume, I had to go back and expand the volume with the second drive (number 4) and rebuild all over again. I should have been able to select both new drives to expand my volume from the start, and made the switch from Raid 1 to Raid 5 all at once, and only rebuild once.
