chenyangMemory Card Adapter CF Compact Flash Memory Card to 50pin 1.8 Inch IDE Hard Drive SSD Converter Adapter for Toshiba

This CY CF card to ZIF converter worked perfectly for converting a Creative Zen Vision M MP3 player with a 30 GB hard drive to a 128 GB Micro SD card. (Note: The player only recognizes ~120 GB – likely a firmware limitation.)I had to install the firmware on the SD card using another Creative Zen Vision M (I think there was a problem with the motherboard on this player - the Creative firmware update utility did not recognize this player for some reason) and transplanted the SD Card and converter board back into this player. Once the firmware was installed, the first player worked great.After the first Creative Zen Vision M was working, I tried installing a Kinspec SSD in the second player. I tried using a Kingspec 128 GB SSD, which had worked for converting two Zune 30’s and a Zune 80 in the past. The firmware installed successfully using the Creative firmware update utility, however, files (music or video) could only be transferred to the player in ~100 MB chunks. Any more than that, and the player would disconnect from my computer and need to be reset. Once loaded, the files would play correctly, but I don’t have the patience to transfer 60 GB of music and videos 100 MB at a time. I replaced the Kinspec SSD with this converter board, a QUMOX Compact Flash to SD card adapter, and a 128 GB micro SD card. The Creative Zen Vision M runs much faster with the SD card and seems to have better battery life. In the end I have two working Creative Zen Vision M’s running 128 GB SD cards.

Works well in iPod Gen 3. The jumper needs to be slightly bent at an angle to clear the case.

Didn't work in my HPi100 MP3 player. It's unclear if its defective or an incompatibility.

Put a sd to cf adapter in it to update an old iPod 4th gen. Don’t know why but it only works with 64gb and under... it might be an issue with cf adapter. I only need 64gb - I’m a happy camper!

I have three of these, and they consistently work for my application. Excellent for using CF cards as hard drive replacements in PC-9821 portables. Make sure you use a compatible CF, though! I find the old Transcend 133x (1 & 2GB) work nicely.

Looks ok.

It’s good to watch a few videos before you first flash mod. I bend the jumper over and cut the two solder joints down a bit then cover with kapton tape. You will have to cut the little alignment piece from the iPod ribbon, the one that fits into the hard drive hole to align the pins. Read the board it tells you which pins to align. Go from right to left and you will be fine.I used SanDisk extreme CF and the iflash cf to SD in 64G without issue. I format the cards to exfat and worked great. I’ve modded 3 iPods so far without issue.

I had a 4th generation Ipod that was given to me by dear friends of mine. I used it a lot in the past, but it quit working and was in a box for years. It was 20 GB, which was a lot of storage back then. Call me a "dinosaur" but I still prefer to own my own music and to organize it into folders of different playlists that I created. It is great to have an Ipod so I can connect it to my car and have the same music as at home. I find it wonderful especially driving on trips.I decided to fix the nonfunctioning Ipod; thus I bought a new battery, a CY memory card adapter, a compact flash memory card adapter type I, and 200 GB SD card. First, I replaced the battery. Then I changed out the drive to a solid state driver using the adapters and SD card. On Youtube one can find instructions on how to do this. Once completed I charged it up and..... to my surprise, it worked perfectly. Now I have a 200 GB Ipod. One can increase the memory even more by adding a better SD disc, but 200 GB is enough for me, at least for now.
