hard drive for ipod video

(1/2) > >>

Pileot:
I have been looking for info about the iPod hard drive, but have been having minimal luck. I was hoping to upgrade my 30gig to something better.

i have already looked at the hard drive replacement page:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/HardDriveReplacement#1_8_Drive_Comparison
but im not sure how up-to-date that is. Also, im having trouble finding online stores that carry >60gig hard drives. None of my local retailers seem to have any ideas what im talking about, the computer specialty shops dont carry them, so it looks like im pretty SOL. I even tried contacting a few help representatives (i think toshiba and seagate?) but they are useless.

i found a few "iPod repair / upgrade" sites, but they want an arm, a leg, and a firstborn for their services. I have no fear in taking my iPod apart, so thats not a worry

Any help (as far as online stores, or specific hard drives that are currently in production) would be appreciated.


Other information:
30gig ipod (means i need the thin drives, not the 8mm ones)
im in canada, so they gotta be able to ship here affordably
should be >60gigs, i think i saw a 120gig drive somewhere, but that might have been an 8mm one



Thanks!

Pileot:
the MK8022GAA  is an 8mm drive, i need the smaller variety (4mm or 6mm or whatever it is) that fits in the 30gig case

thanks for the effort tho

MarcGuay:
According to the HardDriveReplacement page and Toshiba themselves it's 5mm:

Pileot:
ahh perhaps i should have checked more thoroughly.  :-X

Any results for larger capacities? And if possable i would like to stay away from ebay...
