Thanks for the thoughts- I tend to agree, just didn't want to toss these 500Gb drives (or take 'em out back to the chopping block, if you know what I mean).
Separately- I just finished swapping out these 500Gb drives for 1TB drives in my Duo and for some odd reason, they are listed as 1Tb drives, but are keeping the previous 461Gb allocation ?

The condition is being reported as fully redundant, so that is good.
How do I get my old Duo to recognize the new space though?
