That's true. This is surely guaranteed to work.

Could you explain this a little further, please? What aspects do you think of here?
Greetings

Regarding the 5/5.5G HDD, the IpodManualRestore wiki page gives a nice summary about it in the notes section.
The TL;DR version is: "sector size is kinda fucky".

My point is merely that the price seems to have tripled in the last couple of years - which makes solid state more attractive in comparison now. Besides, 240gb is no longer enough for me!
Thanks for the info about the formatting issue. Am hoping ultimately the 7th gen will be dual bootable, which would greatly improve transfer times.

This is already possible.

I have an iPod video 80GB with rockbox on it and love it. Unfortunately 80GB is not holding my music collection anymore.
I've seen some threads where people swap out the internal harddrive for an SSD or a compact flash card that takes two microSD cards.
I'd like this player to have 256GB of storage, what is the most stable way to do this? I don't mind spending a bit extra, I just don't want to muck around for hours trying to get software to work properly. I'd like things to work seamlessly like rockbox currently does.
Links to actual pieces of hardware I can purchase would be great!
