Pro pioneer 2TB -> 3TB disks
Is it possible to online swap 2TB disks for 3TB disks (or 4TB :-)) yet ? I seem to recall having to factory default when swapping to larger disks, I'd need a 2nd NAS to be able to store all the data ...
I suggest you REALLY rethink about moving to Dual redundancy and do it now while you have the room and hopefully the redundancy for the rebuild.

I have had a failed raid5 rebuild and it was not pretty. I had to individually extract the raid5 partitions from the hdd's and rebuild with software. you can imagine the time taken.
