Upgrading an iPod 5.5 gen with a Super Talent SSD drive

Ok thanks for your reply.
I hope my post was OK, because I think people shoudl know if a hw combination works with rockbox
or not because if they that a HW doesnt work they dont need to buy it .

wodz:
Your post was perfectly ok. I just stated what can be done about this. There is 'Hard Drive Replacement' section on our wiki where you can (read as probably should :-)) document your experience.

According to this post on head-fi.org, the super talent ssd works with rockbox. But I read somewhere else, that not all 256GB are available, because the logic board can only handle up to 240GB and the ribbon cables need to be placed precisely.

greeny:
I have a Super Talent 128GB Drive, which does not work with rockbox.
As mentioned I tried it in different ipods where a 240GB regular drive works without any problems .
Apple firmware with this SSD works, rockbox doesnt (boot problem/error) .
So it is not a cable problem because Apple firmware works and it is not a disk size problem because in the
same device a 240GB drive works .

cereal_killer:
Hello greeny,

the guy from head-fi.org has an 5G iPod, do you have such or a 5.5G? Maybe the logic board is not compatible.

One more thing I can think of is repartitioning the drive with 2048-byte sectors. The wiki covers that quite nicely.

Hope you can get your SSD working. Would be nice, if you could report back.

Greetings
