Replace the disk in NAS 110 220
Replace the disk in NAS 110 220
So we bought a crappy disk drive from Seagate (not to mention an overpriced logic board and system that does nothing important) and probably failing after a year the most. Well, fear not, as you can change the drive with another one... (bigger?) and better.
I have not tried this myself as currently the prices have gone up for the hdds, but according to Linuxoid

1. Disconnect power and Ethernet cables
2. If you read from the beginning of my post, I just used brutal (but reasonable) force to crack it open. If youre not prepared to do this, then this HowTo may help: http://crapnas.blogspot.com/2010/04/opening-box.html3. Pull the failed HDD out (dont pull out the remaining stuff, just the HDD)
4. Buy a new HDD (Ive aways only purchased Seagate drives, but after that bullsh*t they gave me, just as a matter of principle, I purchased a 2 TB Hitachi HDD which has much more only positive reviews than Seagates. From now on, Im not buying anything from Seagate if theyre so stupid).
5. Slide the new HDD in
6. Connect power and Ethernet cables
7. The NAS will format the drive itself (takes about 5-10 min)
8. Log in (it resets the admin password back to admin and sets IP to dynamic, check in the router which IP it got allocated)
9. Go through the rest of the shares and users setup
Thats it! Not designed for the hard drive to be replaced my a*s! Couldnt be easier.
Of course youll loose all your warranty doing the above. But I was not going to give them 1 TB of my personal stuff.
So there you have it. The NAS 110 can become the best DLNA server with a bigger and better hdd.
