iPod Miniのハードドライブの交換

I have been tinkering with the iPod classics, the 5th gens and now the iPod minis. I think the minis have a cool form factor and the plug and play for a compact flash card is handy. I have purchased a compact flash adapter to SD card, I then put a 128GB microsd into an SD to micro adapter and now I have 128GB mini. As a note, I did have to format the new card to FAT32 with AOMEI prior iPod restore.

can i change the type of hard disk

So….thx, now it´s absolute broken!!!

Do not do step 12 in the method shown. lift the ribbon from the overhanging end at the top and not the side.

This caused me to break the connections from the plug to the ribbon cable, rendering the ipod useless as you cant get that part any longer.

Also you can use a glue gun and a piece of wood to remove the top and bottom covers without marking the ipod.

A great guide. I have used it to upgrade an iPod Mini (only works on 2nd gen, I read somewhere else) to 128 GB by replacing the existing drive with a Compact Flash.

It now works really well, and battery life is noticeably better.

Going backwards, I stopped before doing step 6 to check that all was working as expected and to set up the “new” Ipod - just in case further adjustment had proved necessary (putting that bracket back is one of the hardest parts of this).

I agree with James MacLean (above) about removing the hard drive ribbon cable.
