  Which one would this be?  I looked in previous pages, but didn't find any links.

 
See this post.

Dminor might also like to know that apparantly Tarkan's been looking into the possibility of a dual slot adapter as well.  Just think, 512 gig ipod (for a price).  No firm news yet though.

I like the idea but not sure if it will fit two CF cards in one ipod, not mentioning concern on the performance (power, lag, etc).
 
If it proves to be doable, that'll be awesome.

See this post.

Thanks.  So you successfully installed which CF card?  The Lexar is much cheaper.

At CES, Lexar just announced a 512GB CF card and a drop in the 256GB CF card price.  Still pretty pricey:
 
512GB CF:  $1500 list
256GB CF:  $970 (fastest), $650 (not as fast)

Mine is the Wellcore CF.  Lexar much cheaper? Don't think so. My total cost is usd300.

Heh, just think if Tarkan does get the duo adapter working   Mind you not so sure the ipod could read that much to start with

It's listed at $450.  So I guess I'll have to stick with the old style 240gb spinning PATA drive if I want a reasonably affordable option.  The only downside to these is the lag, correct?

Can somebody please tell me is the iPod mini works with 256gb sd to cf adaptor?
What is better to have sd to cf adaptor or CD for better sound and longer battery life.
Please explain the difference between the two.
Thank you.

To me lag is not an major issue with the HDD's. It consumes more power and drains battery faster. CF sounds better than the hdd's too to my ears. At $185 (the going price from eBay sellers), I don't see the 240GB HDD a good deal at all.

No experience with the mini so can't comment on that.
 
The main difference between the CF and SDXC ...
1. CF is more sturdy and durable
2. CF has more bandwidth (more pins) thus faster in write/read. More secure too.
3. CF is probably more power efficient due to more bandwidth and one less adapter (no sd-cf) used
4. CF sounds better to my ears

Can the iPod Video 5.5G 80gb use parts from a 30gb iPod Video 5G? Meaning using the 30gb hard drive, 30gb back plate, 30gb battery, 30gb audio jack and hold switch? Have some parts from a 30gb and wondering if they can be switched as the 80gb is for parts.

That would be a yes, yes and yes. You can use all those parts with no problems.

Also as far as I know there's no guarantee that the mini will see the 256 (though people have said 128 works so there should be no reason not to try) as most sane people stick with 128
