ReadyNAS duo (v.1) device with disks of different sizes

Hello! Seeking help. There is ReadyNAS duo (v.1). 2 disks of 2TB each. Configured as 2 separate volumes. Those. raid 0, but not from 2 devices, but two separate. 9 years of work. One of the disks failed and for a while I used only one disk. Recently I bought a 4TB drive, but NAS sees only half the capacity. How to win this?

    Your old NAS is limited to 2 TB drives.  There is no way around that limitation.
