Hi =)
I found your post while using google to find something about "does an ipod work with 256gb"... Therefore I am maybe posting too late...

At first:
Why do you want a mSATA SSD?
Today this is built in my ipod (thick 5G): http://www.ebay.de/itm/181016077430

I am planning to use this now: http://www.supertalent.com/datasheets/6_10053.pdf (Super Talent DuraDrive ZT2 256GB )

It has the same kind of adaptor (ZIF)

Because of 240GB works (I am now using it...) the question is: Does this flash drive work?

It looks like it would FIT but it should WORK, too...

In Germany it is a little bit too expensive to try it with the risk it does not work =)
Price: http://alturl.com/6iwrk (now >230€)

torne:
An SSD with an ATA ZIF connector is more likely to work as it eliminates the SATA->ATA converter that seems to be the problem I'm investigating for the other people here, but unless you can find a report from someone who has used the exact same drive before we can't guarantee it will work.

It occurred to me that those having issues should check the voltage of the SSD they are using.

There's no way the iPod can drive a 5V SSD, 3.3V - yes, 5V - nuh-uhhhhhh.

Torne any progress in your debugging on the mSATA issue?
