Ipod Hard Drive upgrade question?

Thread Starter 
So I have an Ipod 5th gen 30gb. I want to do an DIYMod which is pretty self explanatory. But my question is since I want to upgrade the HDD to a 240gb I will need a 60/80gb. Could I just order a new 80gb back with the headphone jack and just put the internals of my 30gb, plus the 240gb HDD and it all work? Or will I need to start with a 60/80gb? Thanks

I was planning to do what you were going to do but from all the research I have done I found that the 240gb would only work with the 60/80gb models only because it has more ram to support the extra 120+/gb's.
What I ended up doing was installing a 120gb which is a lot cheaper especially buying it off ebay.
Also the 120gb only works in the 5.5 and not in the 5th gen. Which I found only after spending a entire day ripping my hair trying to figure why it wont work but after I installed it into the 5.5 the worked without a hitch.

I can personally confirm it works with the 5.5 gens but not the 5th generations.

Hi SHY

 

 I`m used the SSD is GREEN HOUSE(in Japan)

 (type GH-SSD64GP-1MA)

It is difficult to obtain. Because the production is over

SSD works with the iPod is fast. It is very light weight.
