But there are some bugs in the UI and its likely to fail, its on our list of bugs to fix.
We cannot convert to less than 6, as a RAID 4 is 3 RAID 0 stripe, and to make it a RAID 1+0, you need to add 3 "mirror secondary disks" to it, making it 6 total drives.

Better to backup and recreate to what you want.

If possible, what is the best way to do this?

Thanks KevS
