Summary:
Wow 200gb of music on your Nano Battery life is a bit reduced however.
The iPod Nano
The iPod Nano is a great testament to clean engineering, design, and efficiency in a portable device. However, Apple failed to consider that the available storage capacity is very small! UncycloMedia Commons has released this guide to installing additional storage on your iPod Nano brand device. It might be a good idea to set aside a good two to three hours to installing this addon, but it's pretty easy to perform, as long as you know what you're doing. (Absolutely no brainer, see results)
[edit]
Before you Start
Before you get started, you're going to need the following components, easily orderable online.
(1) iPod Nano 2gb model, white.
(1) Soldering iron
(1) Silver non rosin core solder
(1) Philips screwdriver
(1) RAIDMAX IDE interface controller, model 323RS-0
(1) Maxtor Diamond Plus 9 200gb IDE 3.5" HD
(1) Rounded IDE Cable
(1) Chain Saw
(1) Brass Monkey
Note that this set of instructions will not work with the black version. Be sure to ask your retailer which model you are receiving prior to shipment. As well as not working with the black version, this will also not work with the 4gb version so check the version and space before doing any modification to the iPod.
Note that the 200gb capacity enables you to store about 50 000 pieces of music. If this capacity is filled with illegal "warez" mp3s, you can be fined up to 75 000 000 USD. (204 800 megabytes, 4 megabytes per song, 10 songs per CD, average CD price 15 USD).
This is not covered by the warranty. (please read the Electroinc Universal Language Association for more information regarding this.)
