Is there any way of replacing the 5GB HD in the iPod? I know it would probebly void the warenty, but there must be a way.
If you had the money, boy would iPod make a SWEET FW HD case!!!
I got a 30GB laptop HD and the case I have for it sucks. It is made out of cheep plastic and it about to break. iPod would do the trick i think

The iPod itself is smaller than your 30gb hd. The iPod uses a brand new hard disk that is incredibly small and thin. Currently 5gb is the largest size of that drive.

The iPod is 8mm narrower than a 2.5" laptop drive and only 2mm longer. And don't forget it holds a battery and mp3 player in there. There clearly is no room inside for any larger capacity drive. A Microdrive would fit, but it only holds 1GB and costs a fortune too.
Or perhaps for $399 Apple can fold space?

Toshiba today announced "mini drives" in both 10GB and 20GB sizes. The 1.8-inch embedded hard disk drives measure 54 mm wide and 78.5 mm deep, and weigh 51 and 62 grams respectively: "[they] are smaller than a credit card and lighter than a traditional pager." Toshiba says the 20GB HDD will begin shipping in early February, while the 10GB HDD will ship in early March
These will fit.

IN six months you'll be a gble to ghet a 20 gig iPod. Two years, 50 gig. Five, I'm hoping someone figures out how to make hologram storage work.
Twenty year.... maybe someone will figure out how to make an assembler arm. Never mind a full assembler, just the nanofabrication tool. Then you can make carbon rod-memmory. Much simpler than the Rod logic suggested by Eric Drexler. And it can be controlled and read by conventional electronics and an arm over each block of memory!

It's not the ibm microdrive. it's a PCMCIA hard drive. I'm almost positive that you could take it out and put it in a PCMCIA slot and it would read it as another hard drive. Look at the pictures.

Toshiba makes the 'Pod's drive in two form factors - PCMCIA Type II and ATA. The iPod uses the ATA version. Same size except some 7.1 mm shorter than the Type II drive.
I wish it was the Type II drive, then I could use the 5GB in my Newton when I put a 10 GB in the iPod..
