ReadyNAS 4 increasing disk size strategy?

I have a readynas 4 Pro with 4x2tb drives.

I have a couple of 3tb drives that I want to use to replace 2 of the existing 2tbs.

Should I aim to add the 3tbs at one end (3322), or should I aim to interleave them (2323)?

The faq suggests replacing one disk, wating for a resync, replace another, wait for resync, and then reboot. Have I understood that correctly?


TIA.

Whatever you like.

First make sure you are running RAIDiator 4.2.16 or later

Second check the health of the disks. If a disk is in poor health replace that one first.

What disks were installed when you last did a factory default?

Thanks. I don't recall what disks I originally had in, but the unit has had several disk additions / replacements over several years.
