The regular steps is to format the drive and then create a shared folder and this folder is the one that you can map, in my case i have 2 drives one 3Tb and one 4Tb, so, I formated the 2 drives then, I created a shared folder in each one (DiskStation3Tb and DiskStation4Tb) and then I mapped those folders as Z and Y drives. Inside those shared folders you can create more folders to save your stuff, folders like Documents, Movies, Music, Photos, etc. This is my personal configuration but if you have drives of the same size you can create a RAID if you want to consolidate the drives as just one, but even so, you need to create a folder, share it and map it, that's the standard.

Only a small number, the first production run, had that issue. Virtually all (possible literally all) of the flawed units have been recalled/repaired/replaced. All the units which were still at Amazon from within that first run were recalled and replaced (likely repaired at the factory and re-shipped as new products?…

Only a small number, the first production run, had that issue. Virtually all (possible literally all) of the flawed units have been recalled/repaired/replaced. All the units which were still at Amazon from within that first run were recalled and replaced (likely repaired at the factory and re-shipped as new products?). Bottom line - if you buy one today, especially one from within Amazon's inventory, you can feel very safe that your device is free of this defect. I bought mine recently, have had it for about three weeks now, and it's working flawlessly. The only issue I've had is with the installation of the PLEX server, and the "start menu link" to PLEX (but I can start Plex directly, using the link address given in the installer). I would not worry, at all, about bad memory chips at this point.
