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

Loading the directory cache in the background can take a very long time on a large drive, because the time required is dependent on the number of files/directories present on the device, and a large drive is likely to contain more files. This has nothing to do with the database. You can disable the directory cache but that will make *all* operations that need to look at the disk slower instead.

It shouldn't impact actual boot time that I know of, however. If you have a very old build without font cache fixes, and/or if you still have a build that's been manually patched to support larger physical sectors (this is no longer necessary), then it might be slow, because we used to hit some nasty pathological cases while loading fonts on drives with big sectors, but this shouldn't be the case any more.

You are not mentioning the Iriver H3xx series.
My H340 is using a 128GB Hard disk and it has been confirmed it works with 240Gb drive.
You need to use a cheap CE 50 pin to ZIF 40 adaptor.
Something like this:

Now, on http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CFModGuide, seems that players with ZIF 40 connectors are :

iPod Video 5G
iPod Video 5.5G
Iriver H10 (large)
Gigabeat X series
Gigabeat S series

as far as I know, Gigabeat S have issues with this, so I think I'll avoid it. Also, seems that Iriver H10 (large) or Gigabeat X series is out of stock, also on amazon or ebay. Last choice seems to be iPod video, but also is hard to find... suggestions?

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.

Just got it (without Update Kit), and with 55GB Full the opening is quickly, without any slow time. Also on browse use the player.
And I can add 8000+ songs on playlist (random) as well (yeah, it got a bit, but it will do only once).

So, I don't think the 240gb will slowering the ipod so much? :O

for the last few years i've been using my jbr20 recorder V1 with a 250gb hard drive.

good as gold, excellent sound quality, cheap as chips.

TexasRockbox:
The details of the contents indicate that a 850mah battery is included with the kit.
