Aurender N100H Mods

The fact that Aurender runs Linux makes changing the system difficult but I have managed the following. 

Convert a 220v unit to 110v for US service and back the other way is relatively easy. A few wiring changes. 

Upgrade boot and SSD music cache from 120GB mSATA to faster and larger 256GB mSATA is possible but not for the novice. 

Upgrading 2TB HD to 4TB now. 2TB units have their 2nd drive pins omitted so to go larger you can’t add a second drive. Need to replace the smaller drive with a larger one.  Needs to be formatted or cloned to conform to Linux.

I’d never try it with an N10 but I was fortunate to buy a 220v N100h cheap. There just fancy computers. I knew it contained a dual voltage transformer so adapting it to US voltage was easy. The Linux operating system makes it more difficult to play with boot discs and hard drives but with a little research I was able to clone the boot drive and copy the HD partition to a larger hard drive.
