Bought an used Bluesound Vault V500 on the famous auchion website advertished as a 2TB but it came with a 1TB Seagate Pipeline HD in it. (Possible an early V500 who knows)

Got a new 2TB Seagate ST2000VM003 and format it on a Linux box with EXT4. Opened the Vault V500 and exchanged the HD's (1TB out & 2TB in). Powered it up and all good and successfully upgraded the V500 to 2TB

As this was an old Vault V500 with NO warranty left there was no risk in doing so
