Turn your iPod into a 300Gb media machine

[Alexander Turcic]

I am not sure if this "hack" defeats the purpose of the iPod. Because really, what could be more wonderful than carrying a 3.5" hard drive in your pocket?

Quote from hackaday.com:

flamingballofwreckage sent us a link to instructions for using a standard 3.5” hard disk withyour ipod. after making the adapter, there is another howto for formatting the drive so that it will be correctly recognized by the device.

‘but j,’ you say, ‘that 3.5” drive would make my ipod simply ginormous!’

yes. yes it would. but with a proper case, a small power supply, and an rca plug adapter, the ‘ipod super’ could be a really cool 300gb audio station that isn’t much bigger than a portable cd player. that’s an awful lotof music and data storage in a tight package.

think car audio. think brick sized dance party. think media pc case mod. or think different — and tell us about it.
