Can I upgrade drives over time as Capasaty grows?

Yes you can (as was mentioned above), and I have done this successfully several times myself.
Do a backup, then hot swap (take out an old drive, then insert a new larger capacity one), wait a while whilst the x-raid volume rebuilds and expands. Only swap one disk at a time and it should expand ok without any loss of data. Just in case of disaster during the process, make sure your backup is good!
