Increase storage capacity WD WD10000H2U-00 1TB MY BOOK MIRROR EDITION

[ROBERT_GRASSO]

I have my WD WD10000H2U-00 1TB MY BOOK MIRROR EDITION configured RAID1. I believe I have had this drive over 15 years and now I am about maxed out on space free. I was wondering if I could buy two new disks, swap out the 500gb’s in the unit and increase the storage. Any limiting factors?? Originally there was a 2 TB model so I am assuming replace with 1 TB’s (2) shouldn’t be a problem but could I go larger?? Would appreciate the model numbers of the replacement drives.

Thanks in advance – Cheers !!!

Hello,

See if the following link helps

Replace/upgrade a hard drive in My Book Pro II, Premium II, or World II

So I have a My Book Pro II with a failed disk… about a month after the 3years warranty ended… doh! Disk A: failed : WCANUxxxxxxx Disk B: good   : WCANUxxxxxxx Reason for using time on this… Well, a RAID1 / RAID0 external casing is not cheap, so of course I need a way to fix the problem with a new drive or upgrade both drives. I have found this info also: http://community.wdc.com/t5/My-Book-for-PC/increasing-capacity-of-My-Book-Premium-II-1-tb/m-p/11293/highlight/true#M707 http://www.fixya…

After researching the cost of replacement drives I’m beginning to think it might be a better option to just spend a little more cash and buy a 4tb my duo and leave my old my book chugging along as it is. Thanks for the response! Cheers
