New ReadyNAS Ultra 2 769 hours to resync...

Amount of data on the disks is irrelevant (except that if you read/write data it slows this process down).
The disks have to be synced sector-by-sector. This is at a lower level than your data.
I would have suggested that after you updated to the latest firmware that you powered down, removed the 160GB disk and put in your 3TB disks. Would've been a lot quicker and given you a clean setup on the latest firmware.
To get a clean setup you can do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) e.g. via System > Update > Factory Default in Frontview or via the boot menu (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_use_the_boot_menu)
