When all the parts were delivered, at first I took the spare back cover and the main chassis from another dead iPod and put the mSATA-ZIF adapter between them. Also, I ordered some generic mSATA to regular SATA adapter, which unexpectedly played a great role in the whole project.įun fact: 5th generation of iPod has 32 or 64 MB of SDRAM memory (depending on stock HDD capacity), while the ordered SSD has 512 MB of LPDDR3. The last option was the most compelling for me, so I ordered an mSATA to ZIF adapter based on JM20330 chip (you can find it on eBay searching for “zif msata”) and a 250 GB Samsung 850 EVO mSATA SSD (its predecessor, 840 EVO had one of the greatest power characteristics, so it was a good choice). mSATA SSD with the adapter to ZIF - the least popular option for modding an iPod, but compared to the other options, was the best bang for the buck.1.8" SSD with ZIF connector - quite a niche thing, which also makes it rather expensive. ![]()
