Upgrading from 20GB

[ifanpayne]

I have an iAudio 20GB X5 and would like to increase the storage by installing a larger capacity disk. I know that Samsung now makes a 60GB single platter drive that would fit in the 20GB case but it has the wrong interface. Does anyone know of a 40 or 60 GB drive that would fit into the 20GB case and that has the same ATA-100 interface as the Toshiba MK2006GAL?

Toshiba MK3006GAL
Toshiba MK6006GAL

should be the same size as the MK2006GAL, but i don't know if these Toshiba models fit in a x5. try and do some more research and let me know for future reference =).

why not purchase a 60gb X5L? it has better battery life you know

i thought the x5l doesn't have a 60 GB version.

you are right. it does come in 30gb though? anyway why not just get a regular 60gb x5.

The X5 line is discontinued so the used market is the only way to pick one up.

There is a fairly extensive thread on HD replacements at www.iaudiophile.net if you are really interested in swapping out the drive and want to crack your case.
