5tb
I have two ReadyNas (Ultra 4 and Ultra Pro 4). My drives are currently full so i was planning to wait in december until WD releases the 5TB red. I was just wondering if the 5tb drives will work out...
Absolutely- getting back something is much better than losing everything. Definitely there are cases where cloning is your best option.

But you likely will lose something, and it will be hard to figure out exactly what that something is.
For me the main thing is not to depend on RAID for more than it can deliver. It's very convenient to be able to expand the volume and replace failed disks without losing access to the data. But it won't protect your data from loss as well as a backup will.
