Upgrading an iPod Mini to 64Gb
I love the design of the old iPods, especially the 3rd generation, but unfortunately it doesnโt charge over USB. I bought a second hand 1st generation iPod mini (4Gb) online for about $20. In order to make it cool it had to be upgraded, right? It uses a Microdrive for storage, which is compatible with Compact Flash. Itโs 2015 and SD cards are way more common (and cheaper!) than Compact Flash so I settled on an SD to CF adapter from Tarkan. He makes really awesome adapters for upgrading your iPod!
I picked a 64Gb SDXC UHS-1 card by Transcend as it gave me the best bang for the buck. In half a year Iโm pretty sure 128Gb will be your best bet.
I followed this great guide by iFixit.
Out comes the old drive, in goes the new!
Once assembled, everything is looking good!
