Thank You for your continued support and contributions!
It's pretty hard to compare honestly. I had an issue where the hdd light would come on and freeze up the player for like 10-15 seconds. After a day of using it that seems to be gone. USB transfer speed from my computer seems to go at like 12-14 megs a second without slowing down. Rockbox seems to boot fairly fast. I'll take a few videos and you can see yourself. I was scrolling in rockbox and i didn't see any issues. Again I'll show it off in a video i guess. Battery i can't tell. I can turn it on and time it, but it's a new 2200 mAh one, not the original. It wouldn't be a really good test.I did notice that after a day of using it through my computer and using it as a hard drive, i noticed it was a bit warm to the touch. Not hot or anything, but i didn't notice any heat with the original harddrive in it.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpInHxTpbwA

I wish I had the technical knowledge to understand why that doesn't work on iPods.
I'll repost from another forum:and success! rockbox reads it. Did a battery swap to a 2200 mAh one as well. That little battery plug is a pain in the ass to get in there.So apparently my boot loader (version 6?) recognized the drive. All i did for good measure was to connect the usb, format the drive as ntsb so windows would assign a drive letter, then i used guiformat to format it to fat32 (with 32k cluster sizes). Copied my backup of the old 40 gig drive back to it and started it up. Rockbox loaded up.I'm fairly sure the original firmware doesn't work (confirmed, says check hdd) but with rockbox and usb working i don't mind.I got some pics, lemme see how to get them on here.http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/9680/20130221204458.jpghttp://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3562/20130221204509.jpgthanks again for the inspiration =)^^This was using a crucial msata 256 gig ssd with msata to zif adapter and the zif to toshiba hdd adapterLove it. If you need a screen shot of total space on the iriver i'll be happy to add one
hmm i read something in the ipod thread how a ssd with a lot of music on it (over 100 gigs) was failing to boot.I'll attempt to recreate that and fill the drive and post the results.
