Drive Upgrade from 1TB to 2TB
I've been using a ReadyNAS Duo RND2110 for home backups for several years now. I have about 675 GB of data and want to upgrade both drives from 1TB to 2TB. I'm seeking input on drive recommendations...

I'm not a fan of the Seagate DM drives in ReadyNAS. There are several people here who have had trouble with them. I'd go with the WD20EFRX instead (even though they are not on the HCL they will work well in the duo). Since you no longer have warranty support, there isn't a strong benefit to sticking with the aging HCL.
Upgrade your firmware first.

If you don't have 4K sector alignment you might want to do a factory reset. It's not strictly needed, but it will improve performance a bit.
