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...

What firmware is on it now?
You can't use drives larger than 2 tb in a duo v1.
Of you have a v2 then....
Yes that procedure is good. You must power down before removing the 1 tb drives and inserting the 3 tb drives of course.
If you have any addons installed, install the, before restoring the config.
Your last question is worrying me.
Firstly you cannot do that, it will not work.
Secondly, where is your backup? It should be on a separate device.
You can retain the 2 disks that are currently in the duo as a secondary backup in case something goes wrong. In this event you could power down, reinsert BOTH of the 1 tb disks and boot up. This should take you back to the original setup. Remember to label the original disks according to slot number.
I have the duo v1 running RAIDiator 4.1.14. I went up to the 3TB drives since they weren't much more than the 2TB. Sounds like I'll be returning them to exchange for 2TB.
My backup is on an external hard drive.
