Also, would this work for getting my data onto the NAS? Put one of the 3TB drives in, while keeping 1 in my computer. Copy the files from the full hard drive over to the hard drive in the NAS. Remove the hard drive from my computer and place it in the NAS, and set up RAID. The NAS copies all the files from the first hard drive onto the second.
If using X-RAID2 that would work. I would suggest deleting the partitions off the disk before you add it to the ReadyNAS. The additional disk you add later I would add while the NAS is on.
