I have a 5.5gen IPod Classic (30 gb model, I only believe the case and battery are different) but I was wondering about storage limitations of the old hardware. I have converted the ipod to accept sd cards and i was wondering if it would accept 512gb cards ( I know that 256gb cards work) I've just never seen 512gb iPods before.
Realistically would you fill all 265GB with stuff you'd always want? Also read something rather interesting about large capacity SD cards in the comments on a piece about ipods and sd cards. The stupid high prices of such large SD cards would perhaps also urge a rethink about the 256 / 512 gb cards for me anyways.
As of typing the only 512Gb cards in existence are PNY & Sandisk each costs over $400. In the 256Gb you only have cards made by Lexar/PNY/Kingston/Sandisk/Patriot/Sony/Hama/Transcend again all of these start from $100."
That was by the author of a popular guide on modding ipods to accept sd cards btw EDIT Just noticed all the amazon reviews are for capacities no bigger than 64GB so going on what is said above I'd look for some testimony about the 512GB card to see if it is legit. With that said however, I'm not exactly a Storage aficionado so perhaps someone with lots of video or photography knowledge could provide some insight about the whole capacity conundrum.
