256GB mSATA SSD for iPod 5g/5.5g - possible with current release of Rockbox?
torne:
I'm going to experiment a little more next week with DMA settings, but other than that I'm basically out of ideas and I'm going to be sending this ipod back to the owner. Sorry everyone, but I really don't have much time/motivation to work on this any more and I am out of things to try. If tweaking the timings back to the standard values doesn't work then I'm not sure what else will.

Any progress with this?
torne:
Nothing I tried helped any more with the device I had. The patch I wrote to adjust the timings back to the standard values may well work for some people, but it doesn't resolve all the issues with the specific drive/adapter I was testing. I've returned the ipod to the owner now, and am unlikely to work on this further; we may or may not actually commit the patch, someone needs to do a thorough test of the performance impact on a regular iPod drive..

THANK YOU TORNE!!!!!
I've had a 5G iPod video with a 256GB Super Talent SSD in storage for over a year now and it has NEVER worked...at least until I tried the patch you released.
It's been working like a charm for the past few hours with NO problems.
I'll keep you posted if it stops working or if I encounter any problems but so far...so good. :-) :)

I have just patched rockbox for SSDs, have tested on iPod 5/5.5th gen, 32/64mb model, with 30gb stock hdd or 240GB crucial m500 SSD.
