How to painlessly change disk sizes in RAID10?

Desktop motherboard www.asus.com/ru/Motherboards/P8Z68V , RAID controller integrated from 4x 500GB disks, RAID10. There was not enough space and speed, I want to replace the disks with 2TB SSHD.
How to do it most painlessly, I don't want to reinstall anything.
I expect to change disks one at a time and wait for the raid to recover, change the next disk, and so on. Is this option workable?

Usually, a pseudo-raid is built into motherboards of this class, that is, the usual marking of a disk as a raid, but there is no separate controller or special logic, it’s hard to say how it will behave, I would do this: I took a complete system dump, for example, using clonezilla , put new disks , assembled a raid and then deployed an image to it, so there is the least chance of losing data and the fastest, you can try your option, theoretically it can work.
