iRiver iHP-1X0 mSATA SSD drive mod

(1/10) > >>

bpfiguer:
Has anyone tried an mSATA SSD drive using a ZIF to mSATA adapter and rockbox in an iRiver iHP-1X0 player?

I am asking because the price of a 256GB mSATA SSD drive is 1/5 of a 256GB ZIF SSD drive.

cereal_killer:
All I know is that rockbox does not work on an iPod Video with a mSATA SSD drive and a ZIF to mSATA adapter, but the OF does. So there might be a problem with rockbox and that drive mod, but I am not sure if that applies for the iRivers too. But rockbox developer torne is investigating this problem on a modded iPod Video right now and I am absolutely sure, that he is capable of solving this problem.

By the way: Are mSATA drives really that cheap compared to ZIF SSDs? Can you point me to some examples? I live in Europe and for 256GB SSDs the price of mSATA is about 3/4 the price of ZIF SATA drives.

SuperTalent 256GB ZIF SSD: $1.127 (last year the price was $500)

Crucial M4 CT256M4SSD3 256GB mSATA: $199

Interesting. I get

Super Talent DuraDrive ZT2 256GB, 1.8", ZIF : €254 (~US$345)

Crucial m4 SSD 256GB, mSATA 6Gb/s (CT256M4SSD3): €180 (~US$250)

Adding the price for an adapter (don't know which one exactly) makes the difference even smaller.

monoid:
Shouldn't be the right interface 50 pin CF? At  least that is what I use in H120.  It does not-seem to be more expensive than eSata or ZIF.
