Slim Down for Summer with That's Fit

More capacity for your Sony HDR-SR1?

I love people who aren't scared to take their stuff apart. Here we have a Sony HDR-SR1 owner who was curious if the hard drive was easily accessible and if it could be replaced with a larger capacity drive. It turns out all you need is tiny philips screw driver and you're in.

So it may be possible to replace the standard 30GB drive that comes in the camera with a larger capacity 1.8" inch drive. Maybe the new Toshiba 100GB? Since he didn't have a replacement drive to try, it's unknown if there is anything special on the drive that the camera needs to operate. But even if there is that should be an easy hack to move to the new drive. So if any of you guys try this, let us know how it turns out for you. Just keep in mind if something goes wrong, you may void your warranty if it's discovered you were poking around in there.
