In any event, even with my troubles (I installed the product upside-down and so I had to disassemble and reassemble it), it took me less than a half hour from start to finish.
#IFLASH DRIVE IPOD MOVIE#
It feels more like a movie prop than a real device, because that metal drive has been replaced by a very light card reader. I don’t carry this particular iPod around anymore-like I said, it lives in the glove box-but every time I pick it up I’m also struck by how much lighter it is. I did use iFixit’s guide, which was helpful… up to the point when I needed to install the iFlash.) (It would’ve been much easier had I watched OWC’s how-to installation video, which hadn’t yet been posted when I installed the product in my iPod.

Our family minivan came with a USB connector in the glove compartment, and so for years I’ve kept a 60GB fifth-generation iPod Classic 1 in there, loaded up with as much music as I could fit.
