Sorry I didn't know I could do "multi quote". I was responding to different messages.
I will try better next time.

I got my H140 modded to 100Gb with a Toshiba MK1011GAH and a ZIF to IDE adaptor off eBay - it's working fine, although a bit of a tight fit. Also installed a new 2300mah battery... all OK so far.

@stuffedspacedog: Excellent! Can you please send a link to the adapter you bought (the completed auction listing, or an identical new item)?

Sure, the link is here:

A couple of points... in order to make the IDE end fit the iRiver, you either need to file down the right side of the adaptor, or break off the right plastic prong on the iRiver socket (with the player orientated so the socket is at the top).
Also on the H140, there is a black plastic bar with two screws which fits over the socketed end of the hard drive - I removed this, as it doesn't secure the HD any more as the ZIF drives are smaller.
I also removed the blue rubber mount around the HD... this may make the player slightly more prone to damage in a fall, but realistically it's all fitted together so tightly I can't see the blue rubber making much difference in absorbing a shock, and most modern hard drives have shock sensors anyway.

Great info, thanks.
