Title: Replace/Upgrade ALL HDDs on Buffalo LinkStation
Post by: ZootSuitRiot on August 06, 2017, 08:48:37 PM
Hi All,

I've found threads on how to replace/upgrade a single Hard Drive (in case of failure or upgrade), but how does one go about replacing all four hard drives at once? My system came with 4 x 1TB HDDs and I'm replacing with 4 x 4TB HDDs to give myself more storage space, but how do I do this? If I take all four out at once and replace with new ones there won't be any firmware on them to run the system.

Thanks in advance.
