Easiest (quickest) way is if you have a backup of your data:
1. Update firmware, reboot
2. Save config of your ReadyNAS
3. power down
4. put all new drives in ReadyNAS
5. Factory Default with all the new drives in place: http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how ... v_nv_x6600, you will loose all data on the NAS if you do this
6. Reconnect, using RAIDar: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20684, default user/pass: admin/netgear1
7. Restore config
8. Put data back
the save/restore config part is optional if you don't have that many settings, just reconfigure by hand.
