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 used a Linux based program to clone the partitions and content.  I believe it was a program called GParted but there are several. I think Clonezilla May also work.  The key is Aurender is running a Linux based system so you need to use a Linux program to clone or a Windows based program but it needs to be able to clone a Linux system/partition.  Mine had three partitions. 
What’s great is it’s easy to test.  If your clone boots up it’s good to go. Sometimes you need to play with cloning parameters.

I’ve recently used Disk Genius which is free to down load. Do a sector by sector clone of the original SSD them expand the last sector which is the cache area to use all of the remaining space if your upgrading to a larger SSD. I converted my N10 from a 256gb to a 512gb ssd

Hello,

  1. I recently took your information and upgraded the memory in my N100SC, & N100H. I ran out of room on my 4 tb drive in my 100SC, so I purchased a new 8 tb Samsung drive for it and taking the 4 tb and putting it in the 100H. Can you tell me what type carrier you used to install the SSD in your unit? I’m also interested in changing the 120 go drive to a bigger one also, but that’s next months goal! Thanks in advance for the information!
