I just did some research and found this article
https://www.macrumors.com/2007/08/21/samsung-announces-160gb-1-8-hard-drive/
That was August 21, 2007. The 160GB iPod came out just 15 days later. How long has it been since Toshiba announced the 240GB 1.8" HD? Is it plausible that Apple has their hands on a prototype of the HD for use in the next iPod classic?
