Once my iPod freezed and wouldn't start again. It was a problem with the hard drive. I had to buy the new one and replace the broken part. It was really tough to get my iPod Classic 80 GB opened; I damaged to case, but there were only minor scratches. The hard drive was described as 'almost new' or 'refirbished' - it works really fine to me. The only issue that Toshiba's HDs tend to make clicking sounds. Otherwise I've had no problems with my iPod since then. I suppose the price is a bit high.
A friend of mine asked me to fix his iPod Video: the original 60 Gb hard disk was damaged. I've got the chance to swap it with a Samsung 80 Gb HD taken from a 6th generation iPod Classic: it worked perfectly, so I went on with the upgrade. Oddly enough, the new Toshiba didn't work on the iPod Video, but only on the iPod Classic... that's why both iPods have now a new 80 Gb disk :-) The device is very good, although a little bit noisy: it was just a matter of compatibility. Never take for granted that a bigger hard disk would fit into any iPod, you could get really disappointed.
I use these drives in my wife's Zune players. She loves them. They included 2 Zif cables as well which really impressed me as well as basic opening tools.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Just installed the drive, and it is syncing perfectly! I couldn't bear to spend $80-120 on a replacement drive for my iPod Classic, and luckily I didn't have to. Very pleased to have this option, and I cannot complain about the functionality. One thing to keep in mind is that this drive comes shipped without foam padding and rubber rail bumpers; however, this shouldn't be a problem. Just peel the foam off your old drive carefully and reuse the adhesive tape. You may have to (as I did) use additional adhesive on the rubber bumpers to make them stay in place. Can't wait to use my iPod again!
I originally bought this product to replace the hard drive in my iPod Classic. This hard drive works really well, and it's very comparable to the original that Apple sent with their iPods, which I really like. It was also really nice to get the storage upgrade.
