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.
