CY CF Compact Flash Merory Card to 50pin 1.8 Inch IDE Hard Drive SSD Converter Adapter

Following a popular Instructable guide, I bought this adapter in conjunction with a flash memory card to successfully convert my 2004 model iPod to solid state storage and remove the physical HDD which was failing. If you attempt this, I recommend that you also buy a cheap kit of plastic tools for removing the casing. These are illustrated in the picture. The part has kept the iPod going for several more years so I can highly recommend it if you are not yet ready to consign your vintage iPod to the grave.

Just what i needed. It works like it should

I resurrected my old iPod U2 special edition to great affect! I did have to file the tab on the end of the connector to allow it to fit fully into the iPod though

Wouldn't work in an iPod 6th gen.

Used to upgrade the iPod 3rd Gen to a compact flash card perfectly just requires a tab to be filed down slightly.

Didn't not do what it was meant to do didn't work no comment

Item delivered safely and as scheduled. Purchased as part of project to replace an old iPod hard drive that was on its way out. Connection works with the CF card adapter and SD card giving new lease of life to an old gadget.

No es válido para renovar un iPod Classic de 5ª Generación. La pestaña negra q trae para fijar la conexión al iPod bailay es incapaz de hacer su trabajo. Está mal hecho. Me pasa x no leer otras opiniones. X eso me animo a escribir ésta.

Ottimo prodotto, ho così potuto rivitalizzare il mio toshiba r100.

Excellent produit, fonctionne très bien, compatible avec l'ipod classic

今更ではありますが、iPod Classicのストレージを増強したくて購入しました。 真ん中から上は配線はないので切って隙間を増やすことで、バッテリーの増強をすることもできました。

This CY CF card to ZIF converter worked perfectly for converting a Creative Zen Vision M MP3 player with a 30 GB hard drive to a 128 GB Micro SD card. (Note: The player only recognizes ~120 GB – likely a firmware limitation.) I had to install the firmware on the SD card using another Creative Zen Vision M (I think there was a problem with the motherboard on this player - the Creative firmware update utility did not recognize this player for some reason) and transplanted the SD Card and converter board back into this player. Once the firmware was installed, the first player worked great. After the first Creative Zen Vision M was working, I tried installing a Kinspec SSD in the second player. I tried using a Kingspec 128 GB SSD, which had worked for converting two Zune 30’s and a Zune 80 in the past. The firmware installed successfully using the Creative firmware update utility, however, files (music or video) could only be transferred to the player in ~100 MB chunks. Any more than that, and the player would disconnect from my computer and need to be reset. Once loaded, the files would play correctly, but I don’t have the patience to transfer 60 GB of music and videos 100 MB at a time. I replaced the Kinspec SSD with this converter board, a QUMOX Compact Flash to SD card adapter, and a 128 GB micro SD card. The Creative Zen Vision M runs much faster with the SD card and seems to have better battery life. In the end I have two working Creative Zen Vision M’s running 128 GB SD cards.
