Hello,

I’d like to know if it’s possible to swap in another bigger NAS drive, as I keep my hard drive connected and it might be more durable.

Thank you !

This does appear to be a semi-destructive method. In the picture under step 2, you can see the series of plastic brackets on the cover are snapped. See my pictures here

I had difficulty finding a spot to pry up from. There are 4 lips around the cover that should make it easier. See pics.

Answering a previous comment: yes, it is possible to replace the drive for one of different size. I replaced on of 3TB for one with 4TB and it is working perfectly.
