D5-300C Can't have 2 disks in bay 1 and 2 at Single mode

I cannot have 2 disks in the first 2 bays when the DAS is set to SINGLE mode. One disks wont be detected correctly:
In my setup I have a 16TB (TOSHIBA) and a 1TB (SAMSUNG) disk (which are formatted with BTRFS, the 1TB extends the 16TB file system). So naturally I want to have these disks together in the first 2 bays.
But having the HDDs there results in one disk not being detected correctly (detected as only having 0,5 KB of space): The Raid modes seem to work correctly, but are not applicable for my situation and hardware:
RAID 0 results in a logical 2TB disk and RAID 1 in a 1TB.
Also for some reason there is an undocumented mode which I'm not sure about:
If I turn the dial to the down position - which isn't labelled - it results in combining both disks to a logical 17TB one. Maybe you can provide more information about this mode and how reliable it is.
