Does everyone that performed the upgrade's iPod still work? My 120 gb 6th gen just died and I am probably going to install a super talent in it. Anyone else should check out this thread. Apparently it's a thing.

Wow this is a great find. I'm planning on selling iPod Touch because storage is getting very limited and an SSD Classic sounds really great! I'm buying a 160 GB Classic for $146. This will be great! Thanks.

My classic hdd died (0 retracts and a lot of reallocs), it was the second since the first was toast after the first year, really well taken care of, since it never leaves home now the replacement got toast and I have no warranty left.

Anyway I managed to open it without bending the casing (the only device worse that I opened was one that was completely filed with epoxy). I used lots of really small blades to open the ipod.

Still I managed to foobar the headphone connector (the cable itself got torn), on the bright side it works with an 30gb hdd that I had laying around, albeit no sound at all.

Anybody went with the compact flash route?

Just bought a classic! I'll be doing this eventually. I just realized that I need more storage than apps! Lol.

Can you tell me your SSD's serial numbers? and which company manufacture？

Bringing this back to the top. My 160gb fat classic is not working properly and I need a new project. For thos eof you who have attempted this ssd swap, how did you get the software to work properly on the new drive? Carbon Copy Clone? Or did you just plug it into itunes and restore the software. Sorry if I missed this earlier in the thread. I was looking at the OWC PATA 2008 MacBook air replacement drives, or any other ZIF PATA options out there. I figure if the iPod from 2007 doesn't work, what's the harm in ripping it apart?

I second this - looking at a kingspec on eBay. Seems like a good price and seller has 99% feedback....

Anyone put in a kingspec 1.8" zif pata?

The kingspecs are too low voltage. They won't work. Check my link I posted--there is a lot more info about what works and what doesn't.

I did mine in may 2011 [post #65]. Of course I did not take any pictures. It has been running just fine since then. I used the SuperTalent 64gb in my 6th gen, and yes it must be 3.3v.

Here is the exact one I bought: https://www.superbiiz.com/query.php?s=FZM64GF18H
