ST2000VN000 on the Duo V1 - thoughts?

After updating to the latest firmware (RAIDiator 4.1.13 at the moment), and updating to the latest RAIDar on my PC (4.3.8 ), then all I have to do is put in the two 2tb disks I just bought and the rest is "easy?"
(I do have data waiting to be put back onto the Duo - but that's been backed up already to a seperate external HD)
Thanks again
