Can the physical drive be replaced/upgraded if need be?

Are you asking about the actual hard drive inside the storage module? According to the Seagate forums while it is designed to be a "no user serviceable parts inside" component, it is technically possible to crack open the module and put in a new hard disk, but not recommended unless you REALLY know what you are doing. As for swapping out the storage module itself with a new one from the same model GoFlex, that's easy. Just pop the old one off and put a new one in.

It has two modules: the disk itself in its own enclosure and the base that has the connection ports. Disk can be put and removed easily. Is is just like a "snap on". I have not known if the "upgrade" disk is sold including the enclosure. I have not tried to open the enclosure.

That I don't know. I think that a 1T drive would only be that size and I don't think that it is really replaceable other than getting a new one.

Yes you can, you can buy a new SLIM HDD laptop drive and change it yourself, carefully and remember that by doing that you are probably voiding your warranty

Any internal hard drive is swappable, why couldn't it be changed via an upgrade. Firmware problems? The ram and the hard drives are completely accessible to a qualified technician.

I would recommend removing the old one. Though it's never happened to me, I've heard stories of extra weight/thickness causing problems with the disc drive.

You'll need to be more specific in order to get a valid answer, but here is an answer based on the info on your question: Maybe. If it's a standard SATA drive with no encryption then you should be able to get the info. Is something wrong with the new drive?

Exchange the drive for a new one ? The one you have is obviously bad....good luck

Depends. You can replace the Hdd, with a ssd, or you can add up to two msata drives and leave the Hdd. I replaced the Hdd with a ssd, and added a msata drive.

You should be able to replace it without compatability issues but it will not perform at maximum specifications if the interface is not sata III

I opened mine up to check. Hard drive and memory are upgradeable but CPU and graphics card are not. By the time the accessories that are needed to actually use this are available, this will be obsolete.

That would be correct since you modified the drive by removing it from its case. If you bought the drive separately then a warranty would apply.

I would think yes. This is a stand alone USB powered drive so it can be used as a replacement for broken/damaged built in drive.

Yes, but you need to research your particular notebook model to see if the drive is user replaceable.

Yes you can. 2 options. The easy one is to order from the company. The drive comes with everything needed to easily replace. The 2nd option is more difficult as they use a less common type of screw that most people do not own to replace the drive in the slef. So replacing with your own drive can be done if you order the correct star shaped screw driver from amazon. This of course will void the warranty.

The Intel SSD HD can replace any 3.5 or 2.5 SATA drive (there is an adapter to fix in space for the HD 3.5 inch). I prefer to reinstall the software on the new HD. My desktop was very fast.

Yes, you can replace the hard drive with a solid state. You cannot have both. There is only one slot for a hard drive.

Yup. I can fix it. Your whole hard drive must be formatted and firmware update is required alongwith partition table re-creation

If the old drive worked I can see no reason why the new one wouldn't do the same. Make sure all your drivers are up to date. GK
