On iTunes - you can try running iTunes on the imac easily enough. It might work out better, since it is the "real" iTunes, and not a reverse-engineered server.
I use 2x2 TB in my duo (jbod in my case). The newer disk is a wd20efrx. You can hot-insert one disk, wait for resync, and then hot-insert the second.
