Don't despair! There may be real benefit with a 5mm drive. :D
The Toshiba MK8022GAA is 80GB, has a ZIF-40 interface, and is 5mm thick.
No pricing that I could find but it look plausible. Am I missing something? (it's entirely possible)

No despair... i've got a used ipod classic 80GB coming my way which I will dismantle for the hard drive for testing.
burkjavier:
I'm curious if anyone has tried adding a ZIF 1.8" HDD on the Gigabeat F series - 50 pin connector on the HDD side, but what looks like a ZIF(?) connector on the PCB. I'm thinking that the adapter mentioned should work, or perhaps only the ZIF ribbon would be needed? I will be testing this myself in a few weeks, but I'm wondering if anyone has attempted this, already.
Cheers, Brian

Well, I have here a Gigabeat F, and the 60Gig Zif HDD and the adapter seen a few posts above on their way to me...
So we will hopefully know some time next week...
I will keep you posted.

Michael
