				I want to reformat the drives in my DNS-323. I don't need the data that's on them.
 
 The only thing I can find that looks relevant is in "Tools | RAID". However, I currently have a RAID 1 configuration and, when I use the "Set RAID Type and Re-Format" command, setting it to RAID 1 again, it keeps all the existing data (after syncing for a few hours).
 
 So, how can I get a clean reformat (there *may* have been a virus on them) and set them back to RAID 1?

 turn off unit
 take out one drive
 turn on unit
 log to web ui
 goto tools
 raid
 then format the drive left on the bay
 do the same for the other one
