Could anyone confirm that if 64/128GB CF card fits 5.5th 30GB version or I need to purchase 80GB back for more room?
I also lean toward a 240GB HDD. I do not like the hiss from stock headphone jack of my CF mod 5.5gen, so much so that I do not want to buy a bigger SSD for it. I know a LOD to an external amp may kill the noise, but I do not want to carry that many gears when I am walking around. I am hoping a pair of Hifiman RE-262s will kill the hiss.
Ideally, I want a rockboxed iPod with 240 GB flash memory and a headphone jack that does not hiss with BA IEMs. This would be possible, assuming that a 240GB mSATA SSD is not a lot larger than a CF card; that way an internal cap mod is possible, and we may even put a 2nd internal amp to bypass the stock headphone amp. A smart guy at the DIYMod thread already put a Fiio E5 (E5's PCB to be exact) into his DIYMod, so no external LOD or amp is needed (see page 171 and post #2552):

I know Rockbox works on the 128gb CF card
I have a question, Anybody use or recomend this SSD for a Ipod 5.5g.

It's my understanding that nobody has put a 256SSD on an iPod 7G (Late 2009) ? Is that correct ?
@ DMinor,
CF mod does not cause hiss. It may be because my earphones/ears/music are more sensitive to hiss than yours. With BA IEMs (my IEMs' sensitivity is > 120db/mw) and quiet classical music, hiss is more apparent than dynamic earphones with loud rock music. The hiss is not terrible, but definitely more than Sansa Clip+ or iPhone 3GS, both of which have zero hiss.
