Hope it goes smoothly. As a former owner of the Olive 06HD (still have the 04HD), I upgraded the drive in the 06 (to go to a quieter 2.5" notebook drive from the stock 3.5" drive).

Olive provided their OS ( a 'restore' file) via a download and also a had built-in routine to back up the music library and associated database (metadata, playlists, etc.)
I tried cloning first, but this was unsuccessful due to some odd partitions used by Olive. The combination of a restore (=load) of the OS onto the new drive, followed by a load of the library backup was successful.

So, does Aurender provide support to restore their OS directly? Considering an Aurender ; an alternate is the Lumin.

Reason: if the hard drive fails or becomes corrupted, cloning is no longer an option.
