Possible ZIF to 1.8" IDE adapter! 100GB iriver H140?

<< < (4/20) > >>

Jeff:
These may work...  i have one in hand and it has a 50 pin connector to ZIF.  However,  I would need to either cut the two Plastic guide pins off the connector on the player or off of the adapter to plug it in all the way.

Take a look

Clarification: That is *EXACTLY* the adapter I received in the mail.

I made a quick photochop image of the adapter installed and the hard drive installed (separately) and I overlay-ed them to approximate the space problem.

Jeff:
Can anyone point me to a ZIF drive, used or new that I could try with it??

Edit:

Yes, the issue is with the height of the drive.   A 5mm drive may work, but an 8mm drive will not fit

Davide-NYC:
IIUC you are suggesting putting a 5mm drive (+ adapter) in a H140 or H340.

I have an H140 I can test you idea with. I will take pictures. Stay tuned.

Yes...  I have a 140 sitting in front of me and the ZIF > IDE Adapter but no ZIF HDD.  I'm suggesting that a 5mm drive will fit but an 8mm drive will not.   That brings up the issue of capacity as the largest 5mm drives are 40GB I believe so no real benefit.
