Buffalo Forums

I have a LinkStation Pro (LS-XHL), 1 TB, Fimware 1.57 - it is working fine but I have outgrown it.

 

Is it possible to swap out the old drive for something bigger? Are there instructions or is it as easy as just swapping drives?

 

As the LS-XHL used to go up to 4TB, I assume I can at least go tto 4TB? Can I go higher?

 

Any pointers are greatly appreciated - happy holidays!

only a max of 2TB HDDs have been tested with this Linkstation.

Thanks! You are correct in that 2TB is the max that used to come with it.

 

Is it as simple as just installing a new 2 TB drive? Anything else need to be done?

 

I may take a chnace and go for a higher capacity one...

insert the new HDD and follow FAQ 3 of 5

Thanks for your help!

I realise this is a very old post.

I am trying to re-install a disk into a LS-XHL NAS device using FAQ 3 of 5 as advised.

However, there is no TFTP image for a LS-XHL device.

Please advise how I can install the disk.

Thanks
Lennie

PM me if you want the TFTP image.

Hi. I realise this was a few years ago, did 4TB drive work in the LS-XHL ?
I am thinking of doing the same.
Best wishes.

It should be fine.

Thanks for the reply. I have just ordered one.

It Works.  Using a Linux usb stick on a spare pc with the 4TB drive and the old Linkstation drive fitted.
I cloned the partitions using Clonezilla. Expanded the XFS partition using GParted.
Fitted the drive and ran the Buffalo firmware updater.
It works well. So far.
I would like to update the webserver software. Not sure that will be too easy.
