The drives can be a different model. I suggest you buy something else - Samsung sold their drive business to Seagate in 2011, and the only spinpoints still being manufactured are 2.5" drives. Any HD204UI drives you find for sale are just leftover inventory.
NAS drives have 3 year warranties, and in my opinion are the best options. Western Digital's NAS drives are WDC Reds, the Seagate equivalent is their VN drives. I like the WDC Reds myself.
You add them one at a time and wait for resync. You can use the NAS during the expansion, and your data should be preserved.
