If you have two drives that are in a pool and you are wanting to repalce both, you only need a docking station if you aren't duplicating the pool right? I am doing something similar but I don't have a docking station. My plan is to make sure that both drives getting replaced have all the same folders/files (pool duplication). My initial thought was to remove the first drive to be replaced from the pool (all folders files still in the 'one-drive pool', power down the computer, physically replace the drive I just removed with the larger one, boot back up, add the new drive to the pool and wait. After the pool has completed writing to the new drive I'll go throught the same process with the second drive to be replaced.
I was going to use this process to replace my two duplicated drives with new drive. One at a time I would swap out a drive, add the new drive to the pool, wait for everything to be duplicated to the new drive, and then do it again with the 2nd new drive. Did this process work for you Sirkassad?
