Hi folks!
So, I have pulled out some of my old iPod classics to enjoy my music in a more simple and classic design.
I’ll tell you what, the nostalgia is real! I have really enjoyed polishing, cleaning up, and syncing my music to these amazing devices.
So far I have cleaned and synced my 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 5.5 generation iPod Classics. All still work!
The 2nd gen battery is almost fully shot, the 5 and 5.5 generations batteries are spotty at best, but the 4th generation is still an absolute beast....i can get almost 6 hours of playback easily.
My big concern in the iPod classic I purchased right before they were discontinued. It’s a 160 GB latest generation and I purchased it just to “have”. Well I opened it up and set it up for the first time!
Battery is great, it was super satisfying to set it up, and its a great piece of classic apple history.
BUT my big concern is that while it is in use I can hear the HD making a “peeeew” noise.
It is a slight noise, but it is audible. There is occasionally a click from the HD as well, so I am hoping that it is not the HD failing. My 4th gen is still insanely quiet. My 5 and 5.5 gen click every once in a while, but the ‘PEEEEW’ noise on the 160 GB is odd to me.
Does anyone have a similar experience? Thanks
