iPod 5.5 gen + iFlash Quad with 1Tb Huawei SDXC card (files won't appear)

<< < (2/2)

saratoga:
I think at a minimum it would be great to identify third party adapters (as opposed to the stock disk) and have different timings for each.  At least for some of the older iPods, the built in 1.8" drives could have some strange settings IIRC.

Agreed, and throwing my hat into this ring, my iPod Video with its SSD performs very slowly at times (slow reads of files and loading into audio buffer). Same applies to my H320 with its SSD.

If Rockbox could identify a PATA SSD at boot and adjust its timings accordingly, this could help boost performance on one. The drives I use are true PATA drives, but Rockbox still uses the same timings as platter HDDs, which partially defeats the purpose.

Frankenpod:
Would be brilliant if progress were made on this.  It would, for one thing, make 6th gen (classic 80gb+fat 160gb+120gb) ipods more viable for flash conversions.   Might also make it less restrictive in what brand/size of card one risks using.

I have the impression that the issues/problems are significantly different for SSD ipods and SD card ipods.

One effect is it can cause problems with building the database.

LambdaCalculus, maybe you can answer my question here

Magphil:
About the OP post and his use of Huawei cards, I recently read : https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-spot-fake-microsd-card/

Could he be using a fake card with reprogrammed micro-controller ?

I tested mines (Samsung 256GB) with h2testw before using in iflash quad.
