Q: 3. Can you swap the original drives for larger capacity drives if you eventually need more storage?

A: The drives can physically eject yes. The drives themselves are your standard 3.5 inch drive - brand is HGST. But they are screwed to a proprietary cradle so youd have to unscrew them to switch it over. I bought this item with the same idea - swapping them over. But consider how fast the hard drive industry is progressing. By the time you need to swap them over you might be better off getting a new faster system.
