Is this the proper method?

3. How do I upgrade the HD's on a 2x00 with or without data?
A. On the 2x00 models, just install a new HD in the master position. The snap will format and install the OS automatically. If it does not boot from the slave hd swap the master and slave.
B. Connect to the snap and check the progress of the new drive being formatted. Once completed. If you swapped the drives to boot, swap them back now.
C. Verify the hd is at full capacity (approx cap - ~1%gig)
If not issue "co de format 10000 /reinit" to format the new master drive.
**** Warning: The /reinit cmd erases all data on the drive. ****
Recheck the drive to see if it formatted to full capacity.
If not verify that your OS supports the size of drive you installed. Install OS if needed.
If OK remove the slave and reinit the master drive.
D. You can now copy the data from your old hd to the new one. (Slave to Master)
E. Install the second new drive into the slave position (10010).
F. Verify the hd formatted to full capacity (approx cap - ~1%gig)
G. Now see it the snap reports any of the drives as having a broken mirror. If so break the raid array using "co de config individual 10000 10010" or "co de predict individual 10010" Reboot
H. You should now have 2 new drives with all of your data from your original hd on the master drive. You can now re-create the RAID1 array from the Snap’s disk menu. If you have your data backed up you can use the cmd line "co de config mirror 10000 10010" from debug. I prefer using the web interface as apposed to debug cmd line when ever possible.
