i have managed to upgrade a humble 80 gig snap 1100 by putting 2 x 200 gig drive in the converting the system to raid
it tried it tested ( but it will wipe both drive in the process)
the raid works well as i have mounted both disks on external hd caddys
i removed one it found the failure then on inserting a new drive and rebooting hey presto raid rebuilds .

I am also going to try this with some of the smaller units at some point.
i've tried some of the listed methods to add the drive larger than 130gig but this is all it will recognize. I will continue to play with it.
3 of the 4100's have data on them so i dont want to play with those yet.
version 4 of the os is installed. 1 200gig drive is being used. (seagate) i will purchase more drives when i can get this working.

i havnt checked how much newer or older this 4100 is than the other ones i have. could it be that some of them dont support large drives even after the software update? could it be a bios update of some kind is needed?
