Hello.

I can't say directly, as I don't have a Beomedia.

I would however say it is probably possible, and I will be amazed if the HDD is not a 3.5 "standard" drive.

My advice would be to clone the existing drive to a larger HDD and try it. This is assuming  the Beomedia is happy using a "different" HDD - some Apple stuff looks for particular HDD's, and if yours isn't in the list... maybe a Beomedia will do similar, maybe not.

As long as your original HDD is put safely out of harms reach, all should be fine, as you can always go back to it.  Just don't accidentally format it by mistake when connecting it to your computer!

Please let us know the results of your experiment - good luck!

Thanks Ray

It really should be possible as it is nothing special to upgrade hard drives in most ocmputers these days and the beomedia is really no more than that.

I will let you know......

Please do - I'm sure quite a few Beomedia owners will be very interested in your results. 🤒

Hi

As you can see in

Thanks for the photo Quim - That looks standard enough for me. 

So unless it does the Apple trick of looking for a particular drive firmware ID, (which I doubt) then it should be plain sailing to increase the size of the HDD.

Is it worth upgrading the RAM as well?????

I'm interested in knowing if trying to bring up to date (Windows XP SP3, for instance) through Microsoft Update can harm/handicap my Beomedia's performance.  It certainly would let more websites be visible.

I upgraded mine from 256 Kb to 512 Kb, but didn't see any improvement.

I would have thought a small RAM upgrade like that wouldn't offer any improvements. I was thinking of more going to 1GB or above as memory is so cheap these days.
