iRiver H10 upgrade to a 64gb ZIF SSD

[darkdoomer]

Greetings! It's been a while i wanted to start something on this subject.

i have this iRiver H10 20GB since 2005 and it's still a great player, with more than decent sound and functions that makes smartphones look silly by comparison. i found out about Rockbox a couple of weeks later when i got it, and i'm finally planning an upgrade. [and by the way replacing the battery for a new one. it used to last longer for years but now holds the charge for a mere 30 minutes.]

so, before i proceed to add more science into this thing, does anybody find objectionable the installation of an SSD like a KingSpec 1.8" ZIF 40pin, 32GB or 64GB?

I do believe that as long the 40pin interface fits, and communicates with the CPU board it should be detected by the iRiver like any other hard drive.

i know many people have upgraded to a CF card adapter or a Toshiba 120Gb HDD for that player, something i've been considering a couple of years ago, and wonder, using a pure flash storage what kind of max capacity it would reach using this support.

hey i upgraded my h10 to 64 gig flash card via ziff adapter it worked without a hitch msm me if you want some pointers man

oh well i think i'm going to follow the option of using a CF card of 64gigs + adapter since the price of the zif SSD is still over 70$. dunno how's the performances (i had a camera with CF card, access times and everything were absurdly fast compared to HDDs or memory sticks, so no fears.)
thanks for your answer, i'm going to roll that way instead. and the non-CF huge SSDs eats about a half watt of power, i'm not sure if these specs are serious or not...
