I wouldn't risk it

Actually I think if you grind the tabs off in the back cover, remove all the blue rubber padding and use the factory battery, or factory sized battery, you just might be able to get a 8mm drive to fit. It'll be *extremely* close, but there is a small chance it'll work. No way it'll work with a higher capacity battery pack though. Right now I'm running a higher capacity battery pack, with all the rubber padding and the factory 20gig drive and everything *barely* fits in the 320.

I think this adaptor is the best choice and with this adaptor there need no modifications. but this is too expensive to pay.

has anybody done this modification so far? I've got the above mentioned adaptor and it looks like shown on your pictures. My problem is now, the adaptor comes with 25 pairs of connectors, the i-river 340 interface offers just 22 pairs. So I'm puzzled how to connect the adaptor because neither top or bottom is specified nor which side of the pins is not required.
sordup:
I had the exact same problem as inluxication above with the bending of the cable causing the drive activity light to stay on and the slightest pressure (i.e. the press of the Nav button) causing power downs and reboots into iRiver firmware. inluxication's suggestion of a piece of insulator (I used a strip of plastic) separating the folded cable and the drive body seems to have solved the problem nicely.
Definitely a tight fit though!

Dukestah,
I'm trying to find ADA-HDD-1.8-ZIF-CF to upgrade my h140 with a mk2431gah. I contacted Esskabel to see if they could refer me to a reseler in Canada but the place they gave me are asking 150$(can) for it wich is a bit crazy. Do you have any suggestion for a place that would sale the zif-to-ide adapter from Kabel and deliver to Canada. I tryed with Span.com but they can only sell me 10units wich is a not a solution either...
