Yes your NAS is configured on X-RAID so it will automatically expand your volume as soon as the the last disk re-sync completes. See OS 4 Manual page 18.

With OS 6 Increase in storage space will start once 2nd disk replaced on RAID 5 Config has finished re-syncing.
Also, backing up your data before expnading is also advised and best practice.

Thank you for this very fast response. Really appreciated.
But ignore the approved drives list for the NV+, it's woefully out of date. Any NAS or Enterprise drive is a good choice (except archoive drives, of course). The list for a newer 4-drive NAS would be a good guide.
Thank you for that further clarification!
