SSD Questions

There may be a way to reprogram the RockBox firmware to communicate with an SSD with a different sector size, and someone else in this forum might be able to help you do that.

You should be able to change the code to handle that. This is something that has to be done for certain HDs already (such as the 80GB 5.5g iPod, if I recall correctly). There's a define: "MAX_PHYS_SECTOR_SIZE" that might let you use that SSD, if you are interested in hacking on it further.

Wouldn't that need doing in the boot loader too?
Building and flashing the bootloader on H100/H300 players requires some nerve (or specialised hardware to recover the player if it all goes wrong).
torne:
Yes, you would also need to do it in the bootloader, and it appears that on at least some h300s the current svn version bricks the device (requiring special hardware to reflash), so this is probably not a good idea to experiment with until the regular unmodified bootloader has been proven to be stable :)

Is there a known stable bootloader version that could be modified?
torne:
Somewhere, I assume, but i'm not an iriver user, I was just cautioning having seen people bricking their irivers on the dev ML.
