Upgrading HDD

[kvn864]

   

Hi guys, quick question here. I have LS-320GL, loving the unit. I’d like to purchase Samsung 1TB low power 5400rpm HDD and clone it. Take out the existing drive from Linkstation, connect both to a PC and run some kind of cloning software with a space expansion feature, then connect Samsung drive to a Linkstation and run it. Will this work, any additional steps I need to do? Thank you.

This is not supported so the only thing that I can tell you is to look at our solved storage threads and see if another user has done this before.

Thanks for a quick reply. I am thinking, if firmware is on a hard drive then cloning bit by bit should work, or the parameters of the old drive is stored somewhere else? Don’t know. I think I will try.

Perhaps someone else has done this and will chime in ... thanks

Honestly I have never heard of anyone doing that or attempt doing it.  Im pretty confident that it cant be done.  Due to the fact on how the software was engineered.

If everything kept on a drive (I mean firmware and stuff) then it should work no?

Cant say for sure but I would suspect no,  The only thing you can do is try and see what happens:smileyhappy:
