Here is my answer to a very similar question "The 5th gen Classic drive is interchangeable but beware that the 30GB use a slim drive. So what you need to look out for is the thickness of the drive. There are 160GB ZIF drives that will fit but the bigger the drive the more you are going to pay. I'd get a 80GB for your iPod which is reasonably priced and readily available.
Highest possible capacity for a 30gb iPod 5th gen? shows you some more on this."
Hope this helps, good luck.

It can work,but make sure you get a hdd cable that is compatible with your drive. Of course you need a zif drive etc. Do you have a drive in mind?

I would like to do the same thing. On another website I read that this would involve a number of different parts to upgrade to fit. Are you sure it is just the drive andcable?
