It has high vibration specs.

Some have replaced with a larger drive and/or an SSD.

SSD with PATA are not plentiful.

You can clone the drive in Linux, however, increasing the partition size is very challenging.

I've read boot up time decreases with an SSD IN OUR Harman/Becker navi units.

Hard drive is just south of the cd/DVD slot. It's slide out replaceable.
Great info. Thanks for posting
