Can i just add 2 more HDD's to empty bays and they will automatically become part of RAID 1 ? or should i implement RAID 5 but if i have to implement RAID 5 how can insure that I don't lose any data.

Thanks for replying guys Raid 6 is the way to go but can't afford to lose my VM machines and data so I am thinking if I add Synalogy NAS and use windows server's 2012 r2 iSCSI target option so that's how I can increase the disk space I guess please advise
