About HDD of iPod (5G)

1.8-inch HDD is built in iPod (5G) as you know.

What is prepared

ZIF-CF exchange board

Connection cable ( for Hitachi is recommended.)

CF memory

It becomes unnecessary to already worry about HDD failure by this.

Drive time becomes long although the speed of the reading and writing at the time of making it synchronize falls.

It is because power consumption is smaller than HDD.

Weight also becomes light.

How about being able to consider HDD exchange and trying?
