Is there a maximum disk size the iPod OS can support

Hello,

I have a big problem changing the hard drive on my 2nd gen iPod. I replaced the original 10 Go HDD by a 128Go SSD (Kingspec 1.8" CF Solid State Drive (IDE 50pin) (KSD-CF18.6-XXXMS).

I've spent many hours trying to see the disk in Disk Utility to format it in HFS+ in order to prepare it for iTunes.

It takes between 20-30 minutes to mount and then when i lunch the format procedure it takes a very (Around half an hour) to do so until it tells me that it's impossible to write on the last bloc...

So is the SSD faulty here ? Or maybe this old iPod cannot support such a big disk ?

Please help me !
