    The RN100 series started out with a 16 TiB volume limit, but in 6.4.0 this was changed, so there is no longer a volume limit.

So can I add 2x 8TB WD RED to my 2x 3TB base and than replace my hard drive base with another 2x 8TB without loss the data? 

AFAIK there is no 8 TB WD RED.

 

But when and if there is, then yes.
