I have a Netgear ReadyNAS NVX with 4 x 500Gb (non-SSD) HHDs running on RAID5.

I'm running out of space, and want to increase the capacity of the box.

Is it possible... and if so, how do I do it?

I know that RAID 5 works on redundancy, and that if a disk crashes I should (in theory) be able to replace it without any loss of data. So is it is feasible to replace each disk (one at a time, with new 2Tb drives) until all 4 are replaced?

As per the Netgear Support Community, do this one disk at a time, allowing the volume to complete a resync before upgrading the second disk. Also, suggest the drives you pick are on their Hardware Compatibility List.
