It works on gen 2 iPod minis. I bought one with a dead hard drive and put in a 1GB cf card and it worked for a while, but I got c**ky and was throwing it around to show the solid-stateness off, and it died.
I've read in a couple places that replacing an iPod's hard drive with a non-Apple version will disable your ability to sync via firewire because of some sort of modified firmware Apple loads on their versions of the Toshiba drives. Does anyone know any details about this? Is it true? Does it affect every iPod generation?

Based on the chart, if you have a thin 5G (i.e. 30 GB model) you can't really upgrade a whole lot. Just to a 40 GB drive.

"you can get a 60Gb drive for about $150...www.ifixit.com"That is for a 8mm and you can't fit a 8mm HD it to a case that is designed to hold a 5mm HD and even if you can they list them for $200.00. <a class="user" href="http://www.ifixit.com/cart/catalog/product_2216_iPod_Video_60_GB_Hard_Drive.html">http://www.ifixit.com/cart/catalog/product_2216_iPod_Video_60_GB_Hard_Drive.html</a>It is still not worth it.
