Will_Robinson Report post Posted April 28, 2009 Since 2010 models (w/Nav system, etc.) have a 10GB hard disk for storing music, photos, etc., which is painfully small for my media collection, does anyone know if the hard disk can easily be replaced with a 500 GB or 1 TB drive? Are there any programs or software already installed on the 10 GB drive? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's probably a solid state device of some sort and I doubt that it's easily replaced. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the 10gb is probably the portion of a larger drive "reserved" for this purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have flash drives bigger than that. I'm going to look through the 2010 Ford service manual tonight to see if I can locate more information about it. However basically as PJFW8 hinted at the nav system reserves 10 GB of its 40 GB hard drive for storing music. You'd need to find a way to copy all of the nav information onto your new drive. Not as easy as it sounds, but I am going to look deeply into this as soon as our car arrives. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waldo Report post Posted April 29, 2009 All of the Nav database is on the hard drive, the maps, the POIs, the settings, the software, so all of that would have to be made compatible. I don't really understand the point of this, if you really want to hard-wire a bigger disc into the system, why not just use the second USB port and use SYNC to control it?
