Toshiba 320gb hard drive in which player?
TexasRockbox:
Toshiba will be introducing 1.8" drives using a LIF/SATA interface. It is 5mm height (single platter) and maxes out with the 220GB MK2239GSL. If things aren't complicated enough already...
I wish Toshiba would manufacture a dual platter 440GB 8mm 1.8" ZIF/PATA drive.
george99:
i have a gigabeat f40 on the way.
searching for the best price on the 320gb toshiba drives right now.
anyone have an idea of where to find one on the cheap?
should i steer clear of a used drive?
TexasRockbox:
I'm not sure how you plan to implement it but I don't think there are any 320GB 1.8" drives that will work directly with the F40.
george99:
i hope you aren't correct.
i was going on torne's advice that it could be done. the 320gb toshiba drive has a microsata connector on it and the f40 has a 50 pin connection cable. at the very least i need an adaptor.

^- this is the key part; microsata and 50-pin ATA are totally unrelated and you need far more than an adapter to connect the two: it would have to actually convert one protocol to another. I doubt this exists in the required form factor to fit inside the device.
