When you do plan on upgrading your unit to the 6TB disks, please backup data and factory default with all new sized drives in the chassis. When you say that "the current limitations of RAIDiator and not allowing expansion past 16 TB" does this mean TOTAL, from all 6 drives? Or of the 3 drives, if I'm running it in RAID 1? The way I'm planning on doing it (If I can wait for 6 TB drives to become available) is to throw 2 6 TB drives in there, let the NAS format them and set them up in RAID 1, and then cut and paste almost everything (Probably 5 TBs worth) over from the other drives. Then remove the empty drives, throw 2 more 6 TB drives in, again let the NAS format them and set them up in RAID 1, and then cut and paste the remaining 1 TB of data onto the second set of 6 TBs. Then remove the empty drives. Would that be fine?

In an XRAID volume. It's also just a little note for those who are thinking of doing the same thing but with the bigger drives on expandable volumes.
