I followed as much the threads as possible concerning the Iriver H140 mods and I plan to push mine to 240GB.
So far I've ordered the
1 ZIF HDD,SSD to 1.8 inch TOSHIBA type converter,zender
2 MINI PCI-E Msata SSD to 40pin ZIF adapter card as Toshiba or Hitachi ZIF CE HDD
3 Crucial M500 mSATA 240GB SATA3 Internal Solid State Drive (MLC) CT240M500SSD3
My main concern and the mystery part concerns the battery. I read that a lot of people swapping it with the ipod 2200mAh battery. And some are just replacing it by an original one but new.
Based on the set up I'm planning, What would be your recommendation?
If the ipod 2200mAh battery has to be the one, Does the plug really need to be inverted before plug it to the Iriver H140.
And if Ipod 200mAh Battery, will my original charger still be enough?
I did find this but it says I river.... Looks the same as the ipod one.... Confusing. :)

For the Cameron Sino battery CS-H110XL is not required to invert polarity (just use without modification). If you invert the polarity your player will be fried. The iRiver charger works fine with this battery.

Thank you bpfiguer.
Just ordered it. :)
Last question around. (at least for the hardware).
For the "Crucial M500 mSATA 240GB SATA3", Do I need to format it in Fat32? Never used that kind of hard drive before....
If yes, can I do it once installed in the Iriver HP140?

The drive needs to be formatted FAT32 to work with Rockbox and probably with the original iRiver firmware too.
I suggest you getting a mSATA/USB enclosure because I don´t know if the original iRiver firmware will reconize the SSD drive (it will allow you to copy music files faster: 5x times). If your SSD drive is factory formatted as FAT32 then you are lucky.
To format the SSD drive to FAT32 you can use this utility (http://download.cnet.com/CompuApps-SwissKnife-V3/3000-2248_4-10070864.html)

Thanks bpfiguer.
I thought that would be the case. Thanks for the link. I'll study the threads about it. I've seen the name already but was hoping I could avoid it. :)
For the mSATA/USB enclosure, would something like that work?

or maybe something more like that:

Would you have any suggestion?
