I have a Raid 0 with two SSD of 2GB each but I am running out of space. I installed a third SSD but when I click on my Raid 0 the Add Disk or Resize volume is greyed out.
How do I add the third disk to my Raid 0 ?

Sorry, we do not support adding capacity to a RAID 0 volume by adding a disk to it.

Backup your volume, then create a new RAID 0 volume with 3 disks.

(Be sure to frequently backup RAID 0 volumes, as there is no redundancy)

To recap: I have to
1 backup
2 delete my Raid ) and recreate a new Raid 0 volume with 3 disks
3 restore from my backup

correct?

Has the capability to add disk to RAID 0 been implemented in the newer versions of SoftRAID?

No, that is a long ways away. 100% of the data has to be moved around to accomplish this.
