Maybe this has been mentioned before, but it is SO obvious. XRaid needs to support multiple disk sizes (and actually use the space). For the average home user, nobody wants to make a single purcha...
The FAQ needs some updating.
X-RAID2 (found on x86 ReadyNAS e.g. NVX, Ultra, Pro) already will expand when redundant space can be added. See X-RAID2 in Action
When drive bays are full with equal capacity disks you need to replace two disks (replacing one is not enough to add redundant space) to expand a single-redundant volume or if you use dual-redundancy (available on 6-bay or greater ReadyNAS) you'll need to replace four disks with higher capacity disks to expand your volume (see X-RAID2 dual-redundancy expansion paths)
You can migrate from an x86 ReadyNAS to another one (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_migrate_disks_over_from_an_existing_readynas_to_another) and you can even now migrate from single-redundancy to dual-redundancy (http://support.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19044/~/converting-and-xraid2-system-to-dual-redundancy
