Ipod 5.5gen with Tarkan CF to SD Mod

(1/3) > >>

viperman3:
I've been interested in upgrading the stock HDD on my iPod with a Flash type memory card and have installed tarkan's CF to SD card. I'm using a 128GB Kingston SD card but there's some very erratic behavious when copying files from my PC to the iPod (there seems to be some instability in the USB protocol in the manner the data is transferred)

I'm no technical expert, but I'd like to see if any other users are experiencing any issues with transferring data using a similar CF to SD mod.

mrfritzle:
i think the battery not have always enough power for the cf-mod.

saratoga:
A cf card uses less power than a hard drive so I wouldn't worry about that.

mrfritzle:
In my opinion and experience this is the case when the cf need´s more  power, because of heavy i/o traffic.
...an other idea could be the cpu of the ipod which isnt fast :)  ...but this problem is more often with cf, than hdd´s.

?? Do you have measures or can measure that ??

saratoga:
You can measure it with a power meter if you want, but flash memory uses a tiny fraction of the power of a mechanical hard disk.
