I use synology NAS - although I am not sure what is synology assistant. I login to the filer(s) using web browser and use it DSM directly.
I would recommend you to do the same. Find out IP of your NAS and access it as: https://ipAddress:5001 login as admin - then: 1. Go to Storage Manager - Storage Pool - you will see RAID1 - remove the pool 2. Create new storage pool with RAID0 3. Create volume (btrfs or ext4) 4. Control Panel - File Services and enable NFS/SMB/AFP or whatever you are using to access the storage 5. Control Panel - Shared Folders - create shared folder and export it via NFS. Firewall should be configured automagically when you are creating the shared folder, I think. That is about it.
