Note:

The track limit's shown are aproximations. Actual limits will vary by iTunes library and the amount of meta-data stored within (e.g. artist name, track name, genre, comments, album art, etc.).

6th Generation iPod Classic (80, 160, and 120GB) are limited to LBA28 addressing by Apple, so these models will only show and use up to 128GB of the storage installed.

The 6th Gen 160GB model will require a replacement HDD Ribbon as the original hard drive uses an CE-ATA interface.

Rating: 5/5 Simple upgrade for a classic 6th gen March 20, 2018 I had no trouble replacing the hard drive on my 80 gig 6th gen iPod with the iFlash, upgrading it to 128 gig with better battery life and lighter in the bargain. I have ordered another to upgrade my wife's 7th gen iPod.

For some reason I was unsure if the note on 6th gen was saying they don't take bigger than 128 gig SD cards, or if the total memory couldn't exceed 128 gig. It was the latter, which is too bad, but no ding on the card itself. Great product.

Rating: 5/5 for Storage: yes. slow to boot though August 20, 2016 I’m giving this 5 stars even though whenever the iPod reboots it takes extra long to start playing its first song with a single 500GB SDXC card in the adapter. This is a limitation of the hardware, not the flash nor the card. I was able to load up over 460GB after formatting into an iPod 5th gen using only 1 slot. I plan on getting another card soon. I chose from the list of compatible cards and have no complaints. The only caveat is listed above. Note: if you keep your iPod on standby, it will rake no more time than with the stock drive to load and play a track. Also, switching songs is noticeably snappier, so I can tell the product and a fast card are faster & figure the extra long boot time is because of the size of the card I’m using takes longer to load the indices into memory. (In the pic you can see the size of the card listed.)

Soon I’ll be able to store all my music >750GB in lossless on a 1TB iPod. Crazy? maybe. A waste? Not to an audiophile that doesn’t think 16bit/44K is enough (yes I know the S-N theorem).

The card was easy to install. Using the iFixit guide it took less than 20minutes, but I’m a veteran tech, so your mileage my vary.
