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?
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.
Bumping this again......
I created another thread, but figured maybe people would check back here...
In the middle of finishing my refurb job and am trying to fit the SSD. I bought a Super Talent 128GB DuraDrive ZT2 Pata ZIF SSD and have had no luck so far.
I ordered my first and was immediately met with the "red x" so I returned it as defective. Now I'm not so sure....my second one has also shown a "red x" and I can't get the drive to be read while in the iPod (6th gen 80GB slim). I know all the other components work as the original HD still boots up and everything.
It seems like others who have used Super Talent drives used the MasterDrive version (FZM28GF18H) versus the DuraDrive (FZM28GW18P) I used. I've been searching for days, but haven't been able to come up with ANY difference that would cause the failure of the DuraDrive - and its a newer, faster drive.
I have an enclosure coming to see if there's some formatting issue. I hope that's all it is. Otherwise, I will be returning yet another drive and simply ordering the older MasterDrive from Amazon (provided they still have any in stock by then).
I'll report back when I've figured some of this out - if it works, I'll post pics.
But for now, I'd advise people to stay away from the DuraDrive ZT2 if you're modding a 6th gen 80GB Slim (unless anyone has any suggestions)?
from the spces, it looks like the DuraDrive is a 5volt drive, and the MasterDrive is a 3.3volt drive. the ipod needs the 3.3volt version.
Amazon shows 5v power:

SupoerBiz shows 5v:

it is POSSIBLE that the store pages are wrong, but i would second guess and go with the known working drive.
Yes to 1.8", 3.3v, PATA Zif.
