I've tried chatting with Overland about this, and they just keep telling me that it's not possible, or that "it's not supported"...
Does anyone have any experience with what i want to do on a 520 unit?
TIA!

Storage Overland say: Only a drive-change to the same sice...
My Snap Server 520 was sold as a 1TB machine.
Now it is a 4TB machine. 
The trick is to change to big drives during a fresh OS install. So I've got automaticly new CMOS contens.
Btw. I tried to use 2 TB drives but that doesn't work.
This drive did not work in a 110, 410, 510 and 520.
The problem seem to be: to much cylinders on drives bigger than 1000Gig.
The guardian OS can manage 64Tb but the BIOS can only manage delimited cylinders.
I can boot with a 2TB drive (WD) but the system only took 900 GB for raid0. And no more other raids.
