Things aren't going well. I didn't even get 1.5TB out of the new drive.
Somehow the NAS decided to install the new 2TB disk as a 477 GB JBOD
volume. I haven't figured out how to adjust the partition. I can't even
see it.
The D-Link user's manual is *remarkably* uninformative and Windows
I would try a recent firmware (if it's available), restore to factory
settings and start from scratch. Most of the time you should press the
reset button while inserting the power cord for factory defaults.

I think I'm back in business. The NAS box has the most recent firmware.
I had a Eureka moment I think I finally figured out what it did.
When the RAID 1 rebuilt the mirror, it used 1500GB out of 2000GB
available on the new drive. That leaves approximately 477GB of unused
disk space, so the NAS

No you won't get the two full 2 terabytes if you just replace the
original drive and rebuild the raid array a second time. All it will do
is replicate what's on the existing drive, at best, and if the hardware
isn't identical, which of course it isn't, maybe not even that. You

For some reason the rebuild didn't go as planned.
The NAS is in a D-Link enclosure and it was supposed to automatically
rebuild the new drive as part of the existing Raid 1 when I installed it
and powered on.
Instead, the existing disk thinks it's a Raid 1 and the
I had a drive fail on my Synology NAS just a couple of weeks ago and
took the opportunity of expanding capacity during the replacement.
Synology uses a hybrid raid 1 configuration so I don't know whether
it's a generic capability or just for Synology. The NAS had 2 x 2TB
drives and I bought 2 x

I have a NAS box with two Seagate ST31500341 1.5TB SATA drives in a
Raid-1 (Mirror) configuration. One of the drives failed.

specifically manufactured for NAS).
