Thanks, I'll give it a shot. I know more about this now than I did a few days ago. Knowing what I do now, I can see that I made some problematic choices early on. 

I just read this on another forum for another NAS device: "JBOD cannot be converted to anything else nor can it be expanded nor can the drives be replaced. You need to backup your data, rebuild the NAS from scratch, and restore your data." :/

No... the device gave me the option to set up RAID or JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disk). I couldn't do RAID because the drives I had were different sizes. I don't think they'd be considered 2 separate volumes.

OK, I wasn't sure I would have access to the files directly. I don't know what kind of file structure the JBOD config imposes on the disk.

Oh, I see... Is there a way to simply get the files off the old drive onto the new one, then put the new one into the JBOD config? IE - to get the full 4TB capacity
