Replace Drives for Backup - EX4100 - RAID 10

I have a EX4100 that has been working well for 2 years.
Its configured with four total 8 TB drives in a RAID 10 setup providing 16 TB, with mirror.

I would like to replace one set of these drives to keep off site incase of a fire or some other damage to the building.

  1. I have purchased 2 identical - 8TB drives.
  2. Where can I purchase the drive bay carriages to insert the new drives in?
  3. From my understanding it should be, turn off, replace 1 set, turn on and rebuild RAID. Am i correct?
    Any instruction on where to find this instruction would be great.

Thanks
Bill

Hi Mjoelk thanks for quick reply. I realise he wasnt doing to swap for upgrading just I stumbled across his post looking for instructions and guidance!
Sawyou post and wondered if there was a way to determine what way the drives are mirrored to speed things up a bit but will probably just do it one drive at a time over a weekend.
Fingers crossed it recognises the drives are bigger and just gets on with it.
If you do know of a better thread to follow or guidance let me know .
Thanks
