Some bumps in the road. Updating to 1GB RAM worked fine. Sticking in 5 2TB drives was a problem, however. The NAS would create the RAID array (RAID 0, in this case; no redundancy; later I may switch to RAID 5) but formatting would hang. Or more appropriately, act like it's happening but the drive lights were not blinking.
After several failed attempts, I created a 3 drive RAID 0 array and that succeeded, and I'm now adding one drive at a time and migrating. Surprisingly, migrating from a 3 disk RAID 0 array to a 4 disk RAID 0 array is taking a very long time, especially considering there is no data on the array. At this rate it looks like it will take 6 days.
