Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
I think that this must be a misprint on the Samsung site. The spec sheet for the other 840 EVO mSata drives all state 5 volts but that cannot be right. I've loaded a 128GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD into my iRiver and it operates correctly. I think that the folk over at Samsung have dropped the specs for the 2.5" SSD into the webpage and not realised the error..So it may be OK if the peak current draw is not excessive. Who's first?
I have the same situation as yours. I don't know much about iPod CLASSIC (I mean 6, 6.5, 7G) but I know for sure that Samsung 840 EVO MZ-MTE1T0BW won't work with iPod 5.5G because of PATA-to-mSATA adapter, which works at 3.3V, and Samsung 840 EVO mSATA 1TB uses 5V (proof: http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/memory-storage/MZ-MTE1T0BW (see Full Specs there). But I found out that Samsung PM851 512GB MZMTE512HMHP will be working fine: http://www.centralcomputers.com/ccp91131-samsung-pm851-mzmte512hmhp-00000-512gb-msata-mini-mzmte512hmhp-0000-drisam512gbs.htm But it's so pricey, even at eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-PM851-512GB-mSata-Internal-Solid-state-drive-SSD-/301094165400?pt=US_Solid_State_Drives&hash=item461a9c5b98
