Orig 500g drive: is the original 500gb drive replaceable?

I read that it is replaceable. Here is the faq on the HP website on how to do it: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01336197&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3660805 Apparently, you replace the hard drive, press the factory reset pin and it should work.

Looks like you can reformat it to original condition. http://www.custompcreview.com/reviews/kingston-datatraveler-locker-g3-16gb-usb3-flash-drive-dtlpg3-review/19900/5/

im not sure. the way i figured it out was watching youtube videos. i know there is an easy way to tell which drive you need, but i can't remember. good luck. also i know that the is a piece of the old drive you will need to unsolder from the original and solder into the new unit.

You're talking about an 8 year old machine. While the hard drive should fit in your machine. The 1501 was originally configured with a 60 GB hard drive. I don't know if it can support 500 GB but it might.

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?

Absolutely. I installed a 2TB drive in mine 6 months ago. Works like a charm.

These unit have easy accessible drives, which can be replaced easily. Contact the vendor you purchased this from and they will send you a new unit to replace it. To remove the drive press the rectangular latch towards the upper right of the drive to expose the latch, and simply pull it out. when you get the new drive simply pop it in.

yes the drive is replaceable. I purchased my hub as a refurb with no drive. I first used a 500Gb drive then upgraded to a 1 Tb drive (WD of course). The firmware is not on the drive so just install and format using the utility in the setup menu. I am not sure of the largest size drive you can add. I think probably 1.5TB, 2TB at the most. You can also use an external USB drive at the same time. The system can get a bit temperamental when you add too many movies on too many drives because the library gets very large. Also it takes a long time to recompile the library after the unit is unplugged. If you use the hub as a mobile unit (take it with you) turn off the auto library feature in the setup. yes the drive is replaceable. I purchased my hub as a refurb with no drive.

I just checked www.wdc.com Typed in Serial Number from drive I received. Answer from WD: "The warranty for this product has expired. The product is not eligible for replacement. If you need technical assistance, please send us email." So either Seller is warranting this drive OR NO ONE IS!!! I, for one, would like to hear from the seller on this matter!

Yes , very easy to put in and replace , can also be used as an additional external laptop drive in container , any laptop ( huge range ) that uses 2.5" Serial ATA drives

The bad drive can be replaced while the unit is running and will rebuild itself, as long as the "Mirroring" default was not changed. New drives can be ordered from the Western Digital site.

Yes you could, what you need to know....... The drive inside is a std length (~2"/50mm) long w/ the M2 interface. If you are going to clone the original drive you will need to get a M2 to SATA adapter to make it easy.

Doable, but stock drive probably has stuff you'd want to mirror to the replacement drive for that to work correctly.

Should work fine, use the adapter from the drive you are replacing if possible.

The unit I purchased came with a 500GB HDD. I don't know if it's offered with other options.
