When you said that you were working on a USB flash drive to upgrade the drives, I was hoping that it would be something I could boot on my ReadyNAS and have it upgrade my drives in place. Since it's not, here's what I'm going to have to do. 1) Buy a wired keyboard because FreeDOS won't work with my bluetooth keyboard on my Mac Pro. 2) Pull all the drives from my Mac. 3) Yank a disk from my ReadyNAS, take it out of the sled, and put into the Mac and see if it upgrades. 4) Repeat step three until done. Of course, I'm not going to know for sure about compatibility between my Mac and the updater until I get a wired keyboard because you can't start the upgrade witout one. In reality, step 3, for the first disk is less hard than otherwise because another disk just failed out of my array. And if it turns out the process isn't destructive to disks, it isn't all that horrible a process. But "really not that horrible" is a very low bar to reach for.
