Actually its not just about quickest.
If you add 3 TB drives one at a time, you can't expand beyond a 11 TB volume. So when you add the 5th disk you won't be able to use all the space on it, and the sixth disk is only useful if you choose dual redundancy.
So if your goal is to get a full 15 TB volume, you need to do a factory default with at least 4 of your 3 TB disks in place.- Best to do it will all in place since they have already been checks as viable disks.
