How do I setup a raid 5?

[TheGeeker]

I am in the web client and have 4 2tb drives. Where would I go to make the raid 5 and how do I do it? New to freenas I will need a bit of help. Thanks

If you want RAID5, use a different OS.

To create a ZFS volume, see section 8.1.1 of the documentation.

Closest thing to RAID5 offered by FreeNAS is RAIDZ1. Similar idea. However, RAID5/RAIDZ1 is not recommended these days with modern large-capacity drives as you have no redundancy during a resilver, and there's likely to be at least 1 read error.
