Can you separate the RAID1 without formatting it?

We are very satisfied with the “My Cloud EX2 Ultra” there is only one question: can you separate the RAID1 without losing data or having to format it? And how does it work.
The instructions say that every change to the RAID also requires formatting. That would not be necessary with RAID1 because the disks are mirrored.

Or is it just described incorrectly in the reference on page:

@Idova, You cannot separate the RAID 1.
If you wish to have 2x Jbod on your device, you need to

  1. take a backup from your data on 3rd device
  2. Follow the instruction on the below KBA.

If you remove a disk from a RAID 1., then all the data is still available, that’s how it should be. We tested that.
WD should therefore make it possible that no data is lost when converting to a JBOD, at least with RAID 1. That should be possible, since there is always enough memory.
From another RAID it would be understandable that you need a different device to create a copy, but from RAID1-> JBOD it should also be possible without deletion. That would add a lot to the WD MyCloud.
