ReadyNAS 3100 - Enlarging disks
I have a ReadyNAS 3100 with 4 2 TB HD in RAID 5. I was told I can replace the 2 TB HD with 3 TB HDs. Is it correct? Where can I locate a list of 3TB HDs suitable to be used with the ReadyNAS3100? ...

No, what matters is the volume size, not the raw sum. If you started with 5.4 TiB, then you could grow that volume to 13.4 TiB.
Also, the starting point is not what you have now, it is what you initially installed.
There is a second expansion limit of 16 TiB (you can't expand over the 16 TiB boundary, no matter where you start).
