240Gb Hard drive for Ipod Video 80Gb

<< < (2/2)

jc:
been looking into it & have learnt that the hdd type will depend entirely which ipod i have.
guess i should have looked into this a bit longer before posting.
anyway, thanks for looking. - & to the developers-i've used rockbox ever since it was developed for the jbr20 which is still in constant use to this day. great to use.

bsliver:
For 5th Gen Video Ipod (80GB), it is easy to upgrade to 240GB as the Toshiba Drive (http://www.redirectmarketing.org/240GB-Toshiba-ZIF-4200RPM-8MB-8MM-18-Hard-Drive-MK2431GAH-MK2431GAH-NB.htm) is exactly the same size as the 80GB 1.8" ZIF Drive (8mm dual platter). For later Gen iPod Classics (single platter 5mm drives) the 240GB will not fit as they are thinner- maybe modding the rear panel will work but tricky/risky.

You need the drive, some iPod opening tools and a helpful website (http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_5th_Generation_%28Video%29).

Happy modding!
