Is there a mp3 player with 250gb (or more) that works with RockBox?
djfonplaz:
Uhm...so, for example, on my Sansa Fuze which "flash memory" max can I put? I know SDXC 64gb works. What about the 128gb (I think, now, the max flash memory in the world)? Or there are somethings more?
Post Merge: March 06, 2012, 01:22:41 PMUhm...so you are saying :
1 - Buy an iRivers or Gigabeat F's (not Archos, because they have problem with HD upgrading). Can you show to me which are good for this kind of operation? Found Toshiba Gigabeat MEG-F40S 40 GB Digital Audio Player Silver, looks great? :)
2 - Putting a 250GB (or more? 320? 500?) Hard Drive (to be honest, for example, I don't find which kind of HD Toshiba F got. 2.5'?)
3 - Install rockbox
Right? Sorry my english is crap :)

This is not related to modding a players memory -- the SD card is replacable, so any compatible card will do. SDXC has been discussed quite a few times, please search the forums.

Most HDD based players use 1.8" drives. Some use smaller ones (like the Ipod Mini which uses a microdrive), and only the Archos players use larger ones (2.5"). Which means the problem will become getting a drive large enough for your taste and compatible with the connection of your player. Which also might be the reason for manufacturers not selling players with larger capacity ...

Since I want 240gb, watching this http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/HardDriveReplacement seems that I need a MK2431GAH model, with ZIF 40 connector.
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?
torne:
It is possible to use a larger hard drive with a Gigabeat S, but not with the standard build. The original firmware doesn't support drives over 128GB; there is a fiddly workaround that involves splitting the disk into two partitions, one up to 128GB and one for the rest of the space, and it does work, but it requires a custom Rockbox build currently and it means your music is split across two different filesystems.
iPod Videos are not actually that hard to find; the thing is that a lot of them are sold as being iPod Classics, because people tend to assume that Classic means "all the non-mini/nano/etc ipods". With a good enough photo you can tell the difference quite easily: a Video has a flat, plastic front and a metal back, but an actual Classic is all metal and the edges on the front are curved. Note that there are "fat" and "thin" ipod videos, depending on which size drive they had originally, and I believe the 240GB disk only fits into a fat one. :)

Right, but in fact I need a Ipod Video/Classic 5 or 5.5G, else rockbox won't work...
This is what you mean, right? http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Apple-iPod-classic-5th-Generation-White-30-GB-/78310474?_refkw=ipod+classic+5th+generation&_pcatid=39&_pcategid=293&LH_ItemCondition=1000&_dmpt=Other_MP3_Players
(hope I can post the links, else feel free to remove it :)). Still $279.95.... maybe can I bet on a less HD one?
This also will be very nice http://www.amazon.com/Apple-classic-Silver-Generation-NEWEST/dp/B001F7AHY6/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1331117331&sr=8-9 , but it's 7th generation, and rock box won't work... :(
