Does anybody know what hdd-s Firetore uses inside? Are those replacable with biggerones? Or is there any firmware limitations to use "thirdparty size" HDD-s?

Hi Frank,

I replaced the original 40GB HDD in my FS-4 with a

HD AT 2.5" 80GB Hitachi Travelstar 5K80
ATA6, 5400rpm, 9.5mm, 8MB Cache
Modell: HTS548080M9AT00

(which was the same brand and type that came with the unit)

And have had no issues.

The FS-4 will format the new HDD via the UTILITIES-FORAMT menu after the new HDD has been installed. Installing a new HDD is not difficult - but of course you will void any warranty by opening the unit.

Thanks, Daniel, for good information. So You new total size 80GB?

Yes, 80GB was working for me.

will they recognize HD that is larger than 80GB?

100 GB works fine as well
