What are the upgrade limits of each generation of the iPod classic?
Hi,
First ever time posting on here!
Collectively i have learnt lots from articles and questions before on here so hopefully someone will have an answer for me..
I am in the process of upgrading an iPod 7th generation to use an SDXC memory source with the help of an iFlash board. I am aware of iTunes related limitations with the older generations and wondered if anybody has information on what limits Apple installed onto each logic board variant.
For example I am reliably informed that iTunes will tend to only detect upto {50,000 songs or 120GB even if the new storage memory is say 250+GB}.
Simply the internet tells me that the 7th generation 160GB seems to not be limited and you can see lots of example on Ebay of models with storage of 500+GB.
And before anybody suggest it, no I don't want to use Rockbox :)
Cheers,
Greg

from my own experience:
gen 1 - doesnt work (firewire)
gen 2 - doesnt work (firewire)
gen 3 - up to 256gb cf card (must transfer/restore over usb)
gen 5 - 1tb
gen 6/7 - 2 tb
currently running an i flash quad w 4 512gb tf cards,in a 160gb thin (gen 7) ipod works fine w itunes and the stock os as well as w rockbox
gen 6 has a limit of 128gb when restored w itunes, can be overcome by after restoring wiping all partitions and repartitioning whole ipod as a fat32 drive and installing rockbox, however if you accidentally plug it in w the holdswitch on itll crash and you will have to recopy all data

Sorry, I realize this is an old post but any idea about the gen 4? I've got one with a dead HD and considering upgrading it. I want to put as much storage in it as possible but don't want to pay for extra storage it wont see/use.

I have successfully installed 256GB in my gen 4 using a hdd to cf adapter and microsd cf card! No finagling required, it just works.
