RAID 5 Volume Expansion

I am currently in the process of vertically expanding my RAID5 volume from 4 x 3 TB drives to 4 x 6 TB drives. I have the first 3 drives replaced but the 3rd drive is not ONLINE yet however the volume shows it's healthy and redundant. It seems to be resyncing still. The display shows it as reshaping. Is it OK to swap the 4th drive with a larger drive yet? Or do I have to wait for this process to complete?

I'd wait for reshaping to complete.

 

Is the volume the right size? (15 TB or ~13.6 TiB)

Yes. Each Drive is 5.5TB. The Volume is 16.33TB. It took 27.5 hrs to do the the whole resync after the 4th disk was inserted..
