you can maximum expand the nas with 8 TB after initial size, so how much you can add, depends on how you started,
lets assume you added 3x500 gb in, then later added 1,5T, then 8T - 1.5 equals max expandability to 6.5, or 3x 2T drives, unless you do a factory default when you add all the 2 T drives. so the best you could do is, dont add the 1.5T, but just slowly replace the 500G drives, one by one (let the nas resync between disk change)
hope it made sense..
