I use a synology RAID NAS drive.

Brilliant device - currently with 2 x 500 Gb server quality hard disks, approaching 66% full.

Some time next year I will need to upgrade the volume available.

Can I expect to simply:

1) Turn off - swap one for a new terrabyte (or more) disk

2) Turn on - writes the new disk as a mirror copy

3) Turn off - swap other disk to a new terrabyte (or more) disk

4) Turn on - writes that disk as mirror copy of the previously newly written disk

5) retire to pub and bask in the glory of being an IT guru

... or is there a bit more to it ?

We are (of course) backed up off site (nightly) so my other option would be to remove both and swap to new drives, then download from the back up I assume ?

Any recommendations on best approach ?
