Solved Hard Drive Connectors Interchangeable Between Video Classic Ipod Classic

Chosen Solution

Are the hard drive connectors interchangeable between Classic and Video iPods?

I just tested – they seem to be completely interchangeable :)

Here’s a twist: The connectors are interchangeable between all Video iPods and the thin (80, 120, thin 160 GB) Classics. HOWEVER, the thick 160 GB Classic uses a different cable and connector (it’s still a ZIF connector, but half the size). Compare the cables for Video/thin Classic and thick Classic iPods to see the difference.

HOWEVER, the thick 160 GB Classic uses a different cable and connector (it’s still a ZIF connector, but half the size). But Can a thin be used in place of thick?
