iPod minidrive replacement

I bought this to replace the broken hard drive in my old iPod Mini. I cracked open the iPod, pulled out the old drive, plugged this in, restored the iPod to factory settings, and it's working like a charm.

I needed an alternative to my iPod Nano.  Sure, the Nano is better, but the SanDisk works just fine with my chromebook, and that was what I needed.  It's also MUCH less expensive than the Apple product.

This drive works wonderfully as a replacement for my internal drive!
Replacement is easy if you search for instructions, and the guide i found had useful diagrams.
Just make sure you have a set of torx drivers and small screwdrivers.
Drive is quiet (better than the one it came with), and i have no noticeable change in battery life.
I highly recommend this drive to anyone who wants/needs to replace the internal Macbook Pro one for either larger capacity or the reason of "your roommate is a retard and dropped it", as mine was.
Works well with an external USB drive bridge and windows XP (running macdrive), as well.

I bought the Minidrive through their official website with a 64GB Kingston SD Card, also through their website. I put my iTunes library on the drive. Now iTunes is slow as hell. The music will stop at times like it was buffering from the internet. The SD card has gone corrupt several times. Sometimes iTunes won't even open. It has really been a bad experience.

I bought this to replace my mini ipod (the ones that Apple does not carry anymore).  It's a fine replacement.  Small, easy to use, and friendly price.  The earphone they provided kinda suck so I just plug in the Apple's earphone, works out much better than the Sandisk's.  The USB charger doesn't come with plugs, so I just hook the USB on my ipod's plug.  It holds more songs, and no stupid itune to mess around with.  Just dump in all the songs from folder to folder, and it's done.

I wish they provide a better quality earphone and an adapter plug, which would take them to 5-star rating.

I've had my Apple iPod nano 16GB for 4 months and it's broken. I can't switch it on. I'll be taking it back to the store where I purchased it and, hopefully, they'll replace it. Very disappointed.

I bought a refurbished ipod nano 5g directly from Apple and I couldn't be happier with it.  It operates like brand new and holds a ton of music and video.  I will definitely buy another refurbished item from Apple in the future.

I bought this iPod Nano, loaded it full of music, let my wife borrow it and have never seen it since. I might ask her if I can borrow it, just to see if she still has it. It is much smaller than I thought it would be. What I have seen of it, I liked.

I tried to connect an external 2.0 USB hard drive to a mini-usb port, however it didn't work since the adapter I received was for an Apple iPad/iPod/iPhone.

The issue at hand is not really being able to copy the files from the ipod to another computer, it is to reconstruct the internal table of contents so that anything else besides the ipod and authorized computer knows what these files are!

There are excellent freeware and shareware programs that can do the same thing!  I use CopyPod and love it.

Don't waste your money on this!

I love my new iPod! I originally had a Zune and it was easy to convert all the songs from the Zune Marketplace to my iPod library. It actually had 148 GB on the device but still it's quite a bit of memory.

This hard drive replaced an old drive I had added to my Mac Mini as a second hard drive. I now use this and the original 500 GB drive together with Mac OS X 10.10 on the 500 GB drive and my user account and data on the 1 TB drive.

Somehow my mac mini ate the interface of my external hard drive. it was a perfect replacement enclosure for such a stupid issue.

I've had my LaCie Brick drive for a while and recently it stopped mounting. It made a tick-tick-tick sound and online forums suggested that the drive didn't have enough juice to read the disk, and that LaCie power supplies were famously short-lived. I bought this one much cheaper than I could've on LaCie's web site, and the one I got from Amazon is LaCie branded. It works perfectly and my Brick is now alive and well backing up the family Mac Mini.

My ipod hard drive crashed and after doing research about a replacement hard drive I came across an alternative solution that will make the ipod more durable. There is an adapter card that can replace the hard drive in your ipod. You would normally plug a compact flash memory card into the adapter and then use that as the new hard drive for the ipod. However, they now have a CF adapter that allows you to use an SD card as your memory which is cheaper and more durable. I found the adapter and CF to SD converter online at www.tarkan.info and found this 64 GB SDXC card on Amazon for a very reasonable price. After I received the adapter and CF to SD converter from Tarkan I inserted the SD card into the CF to SD adapter, plugged that into the HD adapter and plugged the whole setup into my ipod. Turned my ipod on, reloaded apple software, synched my ipod to itunes and I have my ipod back. The Silicon Power SD card is working flawlessly. I have had no problems synching my music or with the ipod. Best part about this conversion is that if I need more memory I can purchase 128 GB and plug it in to the CF to SD adapter and be up and running in no time.

I originally came across the Silicon Power brand when I was looking for an external portable hard drive. SP offers a 3 year warranty when all other manufacturers offer only a one year warranty.  I purchased the HD and it has worked flawlessly since I got it so I decided to take a chance on the SD memory card and glad I did. It works the way it is supposed to.

Whether you want to revamp your ipod like I did or need an SD memory card for your camera or other electronics give this company a try. I have two of their products and have not been disappointed.

Strongly recommend.

Apparently, these don't go on iPods, and there didn't seem to be anywhere to turn for help. If someone has a clue, please let me know.

This has breathed new life into the older iPod that still has a reasonable storage capacity. It was fairly easy to open up with the tools and install. While I've had a lot of experience opening and repairing computers and electronics, this could be done by someone with the determination and drive to do it. Youtube videos could help alleviate the thought of opening up and knowing what you're looking at.
