256GB mSATA SSD for iPod 5g/5.5g - possible with current release of Rockbox?
dreamlayers:
Did you try disabling DMA (HAVE_ATA_DMA) or enabling DMA for writes (ATA_DMA_WRITES)? Neither of these are a good long-term solution, but they might help narrow down what's failing.
DMinor:
Just want to say BIG thanks to Torne and Dreamlayers for your time and efforts to benefit many Rockbox hardcore followers like myself.

So is this test build only for iPods that are modified with mSATA SSDs + adapter? Or does it make sense to try it on an unmodified iPod Video too?
torne:
The test build is for iPods that have some kind of storage/adapter fitted that doesn't work with normal Rockbox; it doesn't matter what kind of adapter/disk that is really, it's possible that this change could fix problems on any weird hardware that wasn't previously working :)
Feel free to test it on a regular unmodified one as well, but you shouldn't see any difference (it may be very slightly slower to access the disk but not so much you'd notice).
DMinor:
Has anyone tried the patch or test build with a mSATA drive? I am really interested to know if the USB issue as mentioned by Torne is a common issue for this type of drive.
