Disk replacements and capacity upgrade

606T
Raid5
Been running 4 x 2TB disks for a couple of years and now upgrading to 4 x 3TB disks.
Of the six disks on the NAS I have two spares. They are defined as spares. Yet, when I read the manual and want to upgrade the disks in the volume replacing for larger, it says I should remove the spares and then it will be possible, yet the option to "upgrade to larger disks" is never available. Always greyed out.
I have replaced 2 of the original 2 x 2TB disks for 3 TB disks already due to disk failures so the Raid is, in so much, not consistent, capacity still the original 5.4TB. Could that be it?
Frankly I am having difficulties interpreting the table provided here: http://download.asustor.com/onlinehelp/ ... ansion.pdf
I just want to upgrade my 4 disks.
