Vibe 500 - Hard Disk Repacement (General Question)

[Kernle 32DLL]

Hi there,

I recently dug up the idea of replacing the HDD in my Vibe 500. Since it is very difficult to get a affordable 1,8" ZIF HDD, I was thinking about alternatives...

So, after quite some time, I found something quite interesting. A adapter for a CF (Compact Flash) card to ZIF adapter. So I was wondering, if I could use this, to replace the HDD inside my MP3 Player. I found one for around 3,50$, so I would risk it.

I also found some other adapters, such as adapters for SD card, IDE and SATA harddrives. Since my MP3 players has no space for holding the adapters, I didn't take a deeper look, yet I was wondering about how well those would perform. Such adapters would make it considerably easy to use modern SSD HDDs. Anyone thoughts on that?

So long,
Kernle
