Any ideas as to whether or not it would work?
Depends on the firmware.
If it uses some form of OS like linux, it will probably work.
Found an (off-topic) article claiming the chipset is from Samsung:

With dark marketing tricks the disk size may be a hard-coded constraint.

If I made a clone...
Cloning the 160GB on a 1TB will have it still reporting 160GB.
If you want to reach beyond that size, the partition table must change.
Chances are slim the firmware will support partitions.
I would try a 1TB partition with the files merely copied over
from the 160GB disk.
Just make sure the 160GB disk stays unmodified in the process...
It's your only fallback.
