My 30gb ipod 5g's hard drive is on the way out, and rather than buy a new hard drive, I'm looking at picking up a used iAudio X5L.  I miss my old iRiver's audio ins.

However, the ZIF vs. Micro IDE connector got me thinking.

They're making new Solid State Disks with the old Micro IDE connector in a 5mm 1.8" package.  They're now more readily available, even.  Is there any reason (other than cost) that they shouldn't work in the X5 and iRiver?

LinusN:
They will probably work just fine. I see no reason not to.

Multiplex:
And there are some threads round here about using Compact Flash cards with a 50Pin to CF adapter.

Buy this (OMG the price has dropped AGAIN!!!)

and one of those CF to 50 pin ipod adapters (about $15 with shipping off ebay). It will be less than HALF the price of this

Why not keep your 5g iPod and get an adaptor for that?

Cheaper and I am sure the 32GB card will work in that.
