Decision: Get Ipod Classic or stick with rockbox'd 5.5g

I knew about the different connectors, so your post confused me :D
So I'll compare price/size/power consumption of the MK1011GAH, ST7120221DE, and HS122JB, and give it a bash!
EDIT: Okay.. not the ST7120221DE. I assumed the Wiki was a little out of date and it would be released by now.

The odds are it will. iPod mini's have been upgraded to 16gb flash cards and they were designed to work with 4 or 6gb 1" hard disks.

I dont know a lot about iPods, but from what i know about computers.... Most of the time as long as you fit the same connections together, and the harddrive you replace has the same pin configuration as the one you swap out, it should work.
If things dont look like they will fit, dont force it.
On a completely different train of thought... Is there work being done on the classic to make it work? What can the average no-skills layman do to help?

Break into Apple HQ and retrieve the data sheets for the mystery chipset, along with the firmware encryption details. ;)
Seriously, an iPod Classic port is very unlikely to happen.

well it looks like theres a 100+ gb hds from those charts that has a zif 40 connection so why bother with a ipod classic port when it will be less of a hassle to go with a hd upgrade? only thing I see that is problematic is compiling your own rockbox even that is easily solved
