I have an ipod video, 5G, 60gb.
It has a MK6008GAH HDD (http://sdd.toshiba.com/main.aspx?Path=StorageSolutions/1.8-inchHardDiskDrives/MK6008GAH)
This has a 40 pin ZIF connector.
Can I replace this with any 1.8 inch ZIF drive such as:
Kingspec ZIF SSD MLC SMI (http://www.kingspec.com/solid-state-disk-products/ssd-18zif-mlcs.htm)
This needs 3.3v input and has the right dimensions
OR
PhotoFast 1.8" GMonster-ZIF V4 SSD (http://www.photofast.tw/products/ssd-18zifv4.html)
Also 3.3v input
This website (x_produhttp://www.maxxxware.de/maxxct_gmonster_ide18_zif2_v2_32.php) (german) lists the 2nd version of the Photofast to work with the classic.

There was also an earlier question (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=872854&highlight=ipod+ssd) about the same thing.
The crux of the matter is: Does any HDD/SSD that works in the Macbook air work in an iPod? Any other ideas?
