Is the NAS used as the primary storage for important data i.e. do you have the main copies of important files on the NAS?
If so, it is important to backup the NAS, whether to USB disks, another NAS, the cloud or some place else. No important data should be stored on just the one device. There are things such as multiple disk failures, fire, flood, theft etc. that RAID can't protect you against. Preferably you should keep one backup of important data off-site at all times.
The first step I would suggest is to make a backup if you don't have one.
You can add larger capacity disks than 2TB if you want. Choose disks from the compatibility list: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20641
