Mode 2 Expansion:

Copy and Replace Drives with Drives of
Larger Capacity
You may also expand your logical drives by copying and replacing
all member drives with drives of higher capacity. Please refer to the
diagram below for a better understanding. The existing data in the
array is copied onto the new drives, and then the original members
can be removed.
When all the member drives have been replaced, execute the
"Expand logical drives" function to make use of the added capacity.
