For instance, you can get 8 GB of
storage in an iPod mini by using a non-OEM hard drive, while you can bump
up your fifth-generation iPod to 100 GB. (The highest from-the-factory ratings
are 6 GB and 80 GB, respectively.) Some non-OEM hard drives are technically
iPod-compatible, but they require hacks before they??™re usable.
Table 6-2 lists two recommended non-OEM hard drives, neither of which
requires special hacks to install.

Table 6-3 shows the required tools and the difficulty level of replacing the hard

GET A NEW HARD DRIVE
Hard drives aren??™t always easy to buy off the shelf at the
local mall, but doing an Internet search for the specific
model number of the drive that you want turns up all
kinds of buying opportunities.
