I found this very odd because that 500GB was nearly full with Linux-formatted ReadyNAS files. I thought all that space would have been overwritten. I guess the lesson here is to do a Full Wipe with something like DBAN, and then write Zeros with the manufacturer's tools before putting a used hard drive in a ReadyNAS.
The Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB worked perfectly. I didn't do extensive testing of files, but when installed by itself, everything seems to be there, and the movies and music I played worked fine.
Thank you for everything.
