i formated it i have a msata to sata  and formated it on a pc and then on a mac 4-6 times still didnt work

seeteeyou that isnt the case thats why i posted that picture to show that it was in correctly and being read by the ipod

i just tried installing an msata into a 7th gen and it was a no go. tried many formating types    FAT32 5 times twice from a mac NTFS Extended Journaled

ok so my ipod isnt getting past the Red X and wont go into disk mode. when i go into diagnostics mode it reads my hard drive seems to me like it is still workable. i formated the drive with acronis to fat 32.    anyone have any thoughts?

chop shop. i guess thats simple and cheap and works

i decided i didnt want to wait to order anything from china and the adapter i bought is already here   Seeteeyou do you have any suggestions to put anything inside the ipod so the msata and adapter dont move?

well i used this website called searchtempest to search craigslist around the states. so it was a 1 time deal. i really really hope it works on my ipod. it will be so much better less and much less restarting.

i bought a msata 128gb for $60 so the total looks like its going to be $80-$85 so even if it doesnt work out i know i can resell the msata on ebay and make $. im excited to try it. running a ssd on a classic has been somewhat of a necessity as the disk slowly fails. 

i have a 7th gen 160gb classic. i want to install an msata ive skimmed through this forum and it seems like its possible. i dont want rockbox i want ipods firmware. will this work?   this is what i want  ...

do msatas work
