Guys,

My 160 gb hard drive gave up on me, it no longer works.

I had an old ipod video 5.5 80gb thick version harddisk salvaged from that ipod.

its harddrive model is MK8010GAH.

I saw couple of youtube videos where it showed 160 gb has a different zif connector.

Does the 80 gb harddrive work ? if yes can any one send me the link to buy the zif connector

Is this a good question?

Yes No

you did not tell us what your original drive was. If it was a MK1626GCB then it had a CE-ATA connector and you can not just change it.

If nothing else you can try the MK8010GAH with the HDD cable for that drive on your logicboard.
