Are you one of those people who have an extremely large amount of media? Is the iPod Classic's 160gb hard drive not big enough for you? Or maybe you have a 5th generation video that you think is worthless. Well its time you took that baby out and upgraded it to become a large massive beast. If you have a 5th generation 30gb iPod, then you can upgrade that hard drive to a 120gb for $139. If you want to swap in a fresh battery as well, thats only $19 more. If you have the 60gb or 80gb 5th gen (Not Classic) iPod video you can upgrade your hard drive to 240gb for $169 and your battery for $25 more. With Apricorn's iPod hard drive and battery upgrade kit, you should be able to do the process
safely and quickly. It comes with a hard drive (if you ordered it), a battery (if you ordered it), a very thorough video manual, and case opening tools. The hard drive and battery also come with a 1 year limited warranty. They say that the process takes from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on how comfortable you are with taking things apart.
I would definitely do this with my 5 gen 30gb iPod, but I want a iPod Touch. Hoping they come out with a 128gb soon. Anyways, do you think that it's worth upgrading your old iPod? It'll have a new battery, so it will last as long as a brand new iPod. If you are curious about how to take your iPod apart, check out this youtube video: iPod Upgrade video. It is a lot easier than I thought it'd be. Also here's the link to Apricorn's iPod upgrade page: Apricorn iPod Upgrade. So how many of you will do this? If you have any questions please feel free to leave them, thanks for reading.
