i have an iPod 4th Generation or Photo and
i wanted to know if it was possible to use a new type of hard drive with the ipod and still have it work. i saw this toshiba one but am not sure if it needs to be the hard drive specifically made for that ipod in order to work.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

brandon, , the drive you picked does notwork. The interface is wrong. Your model iPod uses a ATA-6 interface with pins, not a ZIF socket. I believe that a Toshiba MK8007GAH 80 GB would be a good choice for this iPod. Hope this helps, good luck.

thanks for the help :D
Thank you for accepting my answer. Best of luck to you.
I've upgraded mine to a Toshiba model MK8007GAH that works great. Now I'm thinking of trying a Kingspec 120GB ssd http://www.amazon.com/128GB-KingSpec-1-8...
Update: I have installed the Kingspec 128GB 50-pin SSD into a 4G ipod and it works great so far.

My 20gb 4th Gen iDie Hard Color, model A1099, lost his mind after I dropped it from 2+mtr high on a concrete floor. I ordered a:
64GB KingSpec 1.8-inch IDE CF 50-pin SSD Solid State Disk (MLC)
to replace the original KIA 20gb HDD. Within 24hrs I received the 64gb KingSpec SSD.
I used iFixit's "iPod 4th Generation or Photo Hard Drive Replacement" as my DIY guide.
A good thing to know is that the 64gb KingSpec SSD has the same size as the original 20gb HDD so you don't have to buy a 40/60gb thick rear panel, 40/60gb headphone jack or bracket. Connecting the KingSpec SSD is exactly the same as connecting a HDD
When I was done I attached the iMod to my Laptop. Right after that I got a "iPod Firewire AC Charger" logo on my iMod screen. When I attached it to the AC Charger the "iPod Firewire AC Charger" logo disappeared and the "battery is fully charged" logo appeared. Right after that I connected my iMod again to my laptop. Because iTunes recognized the iMod it started itself up. After I choose "Restore iPod" in iTunes my iMod was within one minute fully functional again. Time will tell if it became a "iDie Harder" ;-)
