100GB upgrade for 5G iPod available

$275? Or...you could wait and buy a 6G iPod in a few months for a little more cash.

They aren't standard notebook hard drives, 1.8" hard drives are even more expensive, being so tiny and all. $275 is probably a fair retail price for the drive. I'm having a hard time finding alternative places to buy the thing so I don't know where else you are going to find it.

@Ben, going for the "640K ought to be enough for anyone" title, are you?!

How about those of us who have a compelling need to have every episode of Star Trek TOS in 320x240 H.264/AAC 384kbps/128kbps sitting on their iPod for convenient commute time access?

In 3-5 years, if my iPod doesn't store 1 TB, I'll be mightily disappointed.

Is that picture available as a OS X icon? It will look cool as the icon for my iPod.

@Ryan: Uhm. Okay - still, I want someone to put it into an Apple TV, 'sall I'm saying. ;)

Yes, but what if it explodes?

Wouldn't it kinda be brighter to simply wait for a higher capacity 6th gen iPod?

I use my iPod while in my car, and the adapter keeps the battery constantly charged. Music is being added over time. Having a 100GB iPod with a constant flow of new music would be marvelous.

Not that I have anywhere near that much music, but for the future this is great! I can see a time when my current 30GB Video's battery starts to tank rather than getting a new one, upgrading HDD/battery would definitely be a worthwhile option.

Anyone know where we can score one of those drives on our own? $275 for an upgrade? I'd rather buy the drive myself and install it myself. According to that site the part is $275 with an extra $10 for instalation. That still sounds a bit steep for the drive, alone.

i have a music library >120GB. i'd love to be able to have the whole thing on my ipod. do i NEED it? no, but i WANT it.
