So I assume from my partition.log my array is not 4K aligned?
I've just ordered a 2TB WD Red, so I can just slap it in when I receive it, and he array will be rebuilt as a 1TB Mirror. Then in the future when the remaining 1TB Seagate fails I can replace it with another 2TB drive and do a factory reset to rebuild the array as a 2TB 4K aligned mirrored array?
I've got my NAS backed up to an external USB drive, does the ReadyNAS have a simple utility to restore from USB once the factory reset has been carried out and the 4K aligned 2TB array has been created?
