Solid State Drive upgrade for 5gen Ipod Video?

<< < (2/2)

LambdaCalculus:
The other problem is finding a 1.8" SSD with a ZIF connector, which is what the iPod video uses. If you can find a drive with this type of connector, you're good to go.

About a year ago I tried upgrading an iriver H340 with a Samsung 1.8" PATA 32GB SSD.  It didn't work.  The CF-modified bootloader works fine with CF, and though my computer recognized the SSD, the Rockboxed iriver did not.  Perhaps that SSD has a different sector size than the iriver wants to see?  Just speculation.

So I have a $350 SSD sitting around that I can't use.  Maybe I'll get an external 1.8" drive enclosure for about $15-20 and have a small and pricey (but fast!) portable drive.

I'm guessing you're in the UK as you use the £ symbol so 32Gig cards are available for a lot less than that, I did think about getting an iPod mini and putting a CF card in for use in the car (it has an iPod dock and 32Gig is big enough for all my music) - check out the treads for which cards are compatible and check prices, the one I was looking at is out of stock but is about £55 at 7 Day Shop.

I didn't go for it in the end because the operation from  the head unit is not very good (Mk5 Golf).

I have a 2G iPOD Mini with a 32 GB Transcend CF card in it.  The card was under $100 CDN.  Works great in my truck.
