ReadyNas 316Replacing Disks for Expansion

I'm in the process of replacing my 3TB drive with 6TB drives. After replacing a drive the system is of course degragded and works on syncing for the next 12 hours or so. After that the system says: Volume data health changed from Degraded to Redundant.

The next log entry is: Disk in channel X (internal) changed state from RESYNC to ONLINE.

However, now that the system is "redundant" there is another resync process happening. The system still says redundant, so my question is, can I replace the next drive in the system even though a sync process is happening?

    It is probably syncing another layer in your array.  You should wait.

    It'd be safer to wait for it to complete.
