Is there a mp3 player with 250gb (or more) that works with RockBox?

"Sluggish" means it takes about 15 seconds to boot from off, and the HDD reads and buffers for the next 30 seconds or so, making menu items and the file tree load slowly--a second or two between pressing a button and getting a result. Once it has been playing for a minute, it's fine. File transfer from my computer averages only 3MB/second, but I mainly got it for massive storage so I don't mind the tradeoff. It is noticeably slower than the original firmware.

I got my HDD fro www.rapidrepair.com, but your eBay link looks like the same thing. I just bought the HDD with no kit and used the original drive cable when I installed, but if you don't have the nylon iPod easy-open tools, that kit you linked to would be the one to buy. Getting the iPod open is the hard part. :)

I would add one thing regarding the 240 gig hard drive: if you use the database functionality within Rockbox, it can take a v.e.r.y...l.o.n.g...t.i.m.e to build, especially if the hard drive is anywhere near full.

Suggest that you have external power applied (battery charging) for the entire operation.  this applies to the first time you build the database.

my observations & suggestions only. YMMV

Thanks, but not, I don't use database function :)

Well, I found a good used Apple iPod Video 30 GB Black (5th Generation), and the Apricorn's upgrade kit for 120USd. I think I'll buy them. What I miss is the fat cover : where can I find it? Would be good take front-back (black)...
