how does this affect my available storage if I were to replace both of those 
sparse 500GB files with a real 1TB drive? Will it be same? Or will I have 
expanded my storage? If I understand correctly, I would need to replace other 3 
drives with 1TB as well to expand beyond 3X500GB.

So, in essence I can go from 3x500GB to 3X1000GB in-place with this scheme in 
future if I have the money to upgrade all the drives to 1TB, WITHOUT needing 
any movement of data to temp? Please say yes!....:-)
