NAS drive - can you swap out hard disk?
Hello,
I've currently got a Freecom Classic SL NAS drive (160Gb), but have filled it up. Can you simply swap out the hard disk for a bigger one or is it not so easy? I'm guessing its an IDE drive, but not totally sure. Cheers

It should just be a matter of changing the drive over but there may be a limit to the maximum drive size the enclosure suports (you'll need to open the enclosure to find out but i'd be 99% sure it's an IDE drive)

Ok thanks for the help mate. Should be cheaper than buying a whole new external drive.
