Home grown 8GB iPod mini

By Dave Caolo

So you've got one of those swell iPod minis, but that once spacious hard drive seems to be getting smaller and smaller. Jason Parry had the same issue, and not wanting to give up his durable and rather scratch-resistent mini, he took it apart, pulled out its hard drive and replaced it with a Seagate CompactFlash Photo Hard Drive.

After some delicate surgery, the drive was connected. Next, Jason connected it to his Powerbook, ran the iPod updater and it installed the iPod OS, giving him 7.4GB free storage space. Nice!
