It will accept the drive but you won't get any expansion replacing just the one disk.
If it is the v1 then you would need to replace all four disks (one at a time of course) to get expansion.
If it is the v2 then only two disks would need to be replaced to get expansion.
Note that 2TB disks are the max capacity supported by the v1.

You have a v1 (running 4.1.x firmware). The labeling is confusing, read through this guide: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/
The max disk size is 2 TB.
