120GB drive for iPod 5.5

(1/1)

no1dwdrummer:
Will a Toshiba MK1214GAH 120GB drive work in an iPod Video 5.5?

Is there another drive that will fit in the iPod?

Thanks,

Kent

Yes.

Any of the 1.8" ZIF 40 drives.  The 8mm thick drives need a backplate (and possibly the headphone/hold switch assembly, I don't know) from a 60/80GB model, as the 30GB model's backplate is too thin.

That's correct; the headphone/hold switch assembly is a little different between the 30GB and 60/80GB models, as well as the battery.

You can get those parts from either cannibalizing a 60/80GB iPod video, or simply ordering from (where else? ;)) iFixit.
