Did the uprade from 500GB drives to 1TB work?
I just upgraded my Readynas DUO with 2-1 TB drives. I previously had 2 500GB drive.
Everything went fine, but my Frontview shows the same free capacity I had before:
335 GB (72%) of 461 GB used
The disks are correctly shown as 1 TB drives.
RAID Disks:
Ch 1 : WDC WD10EFRX-68PJCN0 [931 GB] 927 GB allocated
Ch 2 : WDC WD10EFRX-68PJCN0 [931 GB] 927 GB allocated
Shouldn't my capacity go up to something like 35% of 931GB?

- Never mind :)
The 1st reboot didn't take, but the 2nd reboot did it and triggered:
"Your system will now begin online expansion. Please do not reboot until you receive notification that the expansion is complete."
followed 4 minutes later by:
"Data volume has been successfully expanded to 925 GB"
The lesson is, when things don't work out teh 1st time, try and try again :) - Yes, it can take a few reboots for expansion to take place.
