    they already do 320GB HDD's for classic's

    and this isn't the biggest available 1.8" drive since the Android based archos 5 goes up to 500GB and uses a 1.8" drive along with the Archos 7 had a 320GB 1.8" drive for over a year now.

    Archos 5 only goes up to 250GB, unless the Archos site is wrong.

    iPod classic is 160GB only, unless Apples own store is wrong.

    Re: News - Toshiba crams 320GB of storage into 1.8in drive

    Ah! my mistake, i was looking at the Archos 5, not the "Archos 5 Internet tablet"

    Although I do wonder if the hard drive based units are 2.5" drives as opposed to 1.8"

    Never seen a seperate HD for iPods, do they replace the internal drive or connect externally, meaning you have two drives?

    it's internal, but they're very hard to track down drives for newer models.

    edit: ok it's not 320GB, but it's still 240GB which is a heck of a lot of music (well you're not going to watch video on such a small screen are you?)
