It says it includes a 2TB drive which can be upgraded to 16TB so yes they made it swappable it uses a 3.5 drive which are the bigger drives traditonally mechanical that fit into older desktop designs. You'll have to power off the nvr and unscrew the top case of the nvr then unscrew the drive. Uses sata.

Not all internal hard drives are plug-and-play compatible with the eufy - 4K NVR S4 Max. To ensure compatibility, a hard drive must meet the following criteria:
Type: Hard Disk Drive (HDD) or Solid-State Drive (SSD) with a SATA interface.
Size: 2.5 inches.
Storage Capacity: Up to 16TB.
Recommended Brands: Western Digital, Seagate, SAMSUNG, Kingston, PNY, or Crucial.
Peak Power: 6W (5V/1.2A).
Additionally, you need to format the hard drive using the device before it will start storing videos. It is recommended to use a new hard drive for the best performance.

Regarding purchasing upgraded storage, you would need to source a compatible hard drive separately, as there isn't an in-built option for upgraded storage.
