I have an old Snap Server 1000 10GB unit that I would like to upgrade to something like 120-160GB if possible. I don't know how to tell what hardware version I have - it appears from what I've read of this thread v1 is the easier model to upgrade.

I still have the original box, which says the following: Quantum Snap! Server M1000, Rev. R, 10GB JAN 2000. P/N: 5325301081

Does that help in determining the hardware version?

Also, it appears the main mechanism for upgrading drives is to do a bit-level drive copy from old to new. I have access to a hardware based IDE drive duplicator which doesn't care what the OS or Partition are, because it does a bit-level copy - would this work well for doing a drive upgrade on a Snap Server?
