The 2 platter 160GB iPod classic released in 2007 actually went on for a full year until Apple released a single platter 120GB iPod classic in 2008. Question #4: Other than Ebay, do any reputable dealers sell this drive? Question #3: Will the new hard drive need any sort of special formatting before being installed? Will one of these thick rear panels physically connect to my newer 7th Gen Ipod #2? However, I found refurbished thick rear panels for sale. Question #2: From what I've gathered, this new hard drive will not physically fit into Ipod #2 because it is a "thin" model. Question #1: If I install this hard drive into the older Ipod #1, is it going to need a custom firmware to be able to see the full 240GB? While I wouldn't mind even more space, this is at least a 50% improvement in capacity, so it would be worthwhile in either circumstance. The details of my Ipods are currently:Īs I mentioned above, the only hard drive I see being verified to work is the Toshiba MK2431GAH 240GB. Has anyone performed this procedure, or can you point me somewhere I can find the information on compatible hard drives and such?Īlright.I've done a bit of research, and I've also received an additional Ipod as a gift from a friend. I've tried searching the web for current 1.8" hard drives compatible with my model, but I'm really not having any luck. This means my only option (other than just dealing with it) would be to custom-install a larger hard drive myself. Apple also doesn't appear to have any plans for releasing a larger Ipod Classic. Most car stereos (including mine) have a 10,000 file limit for standalone external hard drives, so that's not an option. This is really unfortunate, since I use it almost exclusively for playback in the car, where I would like to have the entire collection. My music collection has recently ballooned to just over 200GB, so I'm now tasked with the chore of finding over 40GB of music to NOT include when I update the Ipod. I have a 160GB Ipod Classic Model A1238 (late 2009 "thin" version).
