240GB Hard Drive for iPod Video (MK2431GAH): RapidRepair

Not affiliated, just had a watch on because I wanted one for my iMod, thought others might want to know.

Drool, I may have to have that!

I assumed this would be at least $300, so happily surprised that it's slightly less. This should work as a replacement for any 8mm ZIF-based player (like my Gigabeat S). Must..not...buy...this......

Pretty surprised that even cnet and ilounge are all over this upgrade news. I'm pretty psyched that I got my NIB 5.5G 80GB iPod a couple months ago for cheap on craigslist, for the iMod treatment. I think I'm going to go for this sooner or later...

They say 3/1, so I'm thinking for the summer break...

crap I read it as the australian date format which would mean it was available on tuesday

I'm wondering if this would work in an v1 30GB/80GB Zune? I believe the connector is the same, and the 80GB uses an 8mm drive as well, tmk. Maybe there's a size limit on the Zune, else I would think they'd advertise the Zune as a viable alternative.

This site prices are usually high for their parts, I'll probably wait a couple months until they are more readily available from other vendors. Nothing like a little comptetition.

Yeah I don't think I can resist this. I was about to buy a 120gb Classic for $250 anyway, so $50 more to upgrade my existing 60gb isn't a huge jump.

I want a 240GB drive for my iRiver.

Definitely Interested, though it can wait a while, got other things I'd rather purchase before an HD upgrade. Thanks for the heads-up.
Aloha

Agreed! But I don't know how many they would sell, the average user doesn't have that large of a music collection.
