Hi!
 
I read through half of the thread but could not find an answer applicable to my case, thus here's my case and question.
I have an iPod Classic 160GB 7th generation (2009). Hard drive is dead after a fall and needs a replacement. The iPod is being used by my brother and he needs no more than 32GB of storage and max 256VBR lossy audio.
 
Because the iPod might fall again (he's a guy in extreme sports), I want to replace the dead HDD with an 32GB solid state storage.
 
The question is - which path to go:
A) ZIF to CF adapter + CF 32GB
B) ZIF to CF adapter + CF to SD adapter + SD 32GB
C) ZIF to SD adapter + SD 32GB (do these even exist/work with SD 32GB? I found one on ebay - can someone confirm this working? http://tinyurl.com/ziftosd)
 
What do you guys think - which is the best option in this case? I'm talking about spending as little money as possible.
 
Thanks!

After opening a couple of ipod videos, some of the front panels are a bit loose meaning that parts of the ipod panels are a bit loose not flushed or fully clicked into the back panel. Also when ever I press on the front panel screen on top of the LCD screen, some black spots/distortion appear. I am wondering if there are any tips to have the front panel sit flush and avoid any pressure on the LCD screen?

Go with option A) below with the CF size of your choice (max 256GB). The Tarkan CF adapter with the CF card will fit the thin version (ipod classic 7th gen).

Go with less parts with proven record, i.e. A)

If you are still using the HDD's, you may get rid of some or all of the stock rubber fillers along the edges of the HDD's. If you use the CF card to replace the HDD, then you shouldn't have the problem.

Has it been tried to see if mini works with cf 256 GB?
My battery is 1500 mha and it takes very long time to charge with iPod charger. I use cf to sd and rockbox is that normal?
But battery life is 30 h when charged.

On the Tarkan page 128 sdxc has been proven to work so I can't see why the 256 gig wouldn't. Are you charging via wall plug or pc/mac as that could make a difference.

After looking around at various options I can't belive that I am "this" close to ordering the cf card. If I do I'll try it in the mini first as that is a LOT easier to work with then the classic.

Thanks

I am charging via wall and cannot see how many milliamps the charger outputs.
My sd to Cf adaptor class 4 and 128 GB sdxc class 10 works wonderfully inside the mini.

Is Tarkan's ZIF to CF adapter the only one that works in 7th gen 160GB iPod Classic? What about those cheap ones on ebay (I know that most of them are too fat for this particar iPod, but aren't there really any cheap slimer adapters?)

For instance this - http://bit.ly/1d1RBTX

Thanks!

 Ok i found all this:
 


 
But i can't find  the micro sd 128gb (two=256gb) somebody found something. thanks

Interesting adapter, I personally never heard of anyone using this adapter but I would just order one for testing purposes.  (Saved it on my wish list)

My sd to Cf adaptor class 4 and 128 GB sdxc class 10 works wonderfully inside the mini.

I use one of these to measure how may milliamps the device uses when charging.
 
Found it on eBay.

Fair enough - I'd love to hear how it worked. Nevertheless, another questions:

They've only just been announced at CES, but are on amazon.jp though only placeholding atm.  I imagine the price will be mahoosive and not that far off what the one cf card would cost in all honesty.  Of course prices will fall but when is the question.

Looks like there is still space to have two SD's on each side making the adapter to accept a total of 4 SD cards. Now imagine 4 of 256GB cards there.
