    Hi tommy27,

     

    Welcome to the Community!

     

    Yes, you can swap the 3TB drives for a 6TB drive one at a time. This NAS model should be able to support HDD with 6TB capacity. You can also check this article on how to expand the volume vertically.

     

    You may check this link for the list of hard drives that are compatible.
