Is thare any chance that I can use 120 or 160gb hard drive in my ipod video 5th ed. 30gb version. the disk have the sam thickness an shold fit in. but I read some story on your site that it has being som problem to start it up. WBR. Atli M.
Here is my answer to a very similar question “The 5th gen Classic drive is interchangeable but beware that the 30GB use a slim drive. So what you need to look out for is the thickness of the drive. There are 160GB ZIF drives that will fit but the bigger the drive the more you are going to pay. I’d get a 80GB for your iPod which is reasonably priced and readily available. Highest possible capacity for a 30gb iPod 5th gen? shows you some more on this.” Hope this helps, good luck.
