Rockbox’s file/directory based music storage will probably allow much greater than 50000 tracks.ġTB will probably be the limit for the iPods as I suspect it is at the limitations of the firmware. I have not tried Rockbox yet, while I expect it to work ok on the 5g Video’s the 6g/7g Classics may not. The iTunes music database starts to struggle around the 50000 tracks, so to fill 1Tb you will need many lossless music files – rather than millions of low quality files. Power consumption is not going to be great, and I cannot really tell you anything as my development/prototype boards are not using the iPod’s internal battery (Yes, it really is that bad!!).
On the 6g/7g iPod Classics transfer speeds are nearer 16 – 18Mb/s so about 15 Hours to fill.

Transfer speed on my test 5g iPod Video is approximately 8 to 9MB/s, so syncing the full 930Gb will take around 30 Hours. I have many issues to solve including but not limited to:- power consumption, drive access stability, seamless compatibility with all iPods (5g,6g,7g) I am working on, and final product cost.
Getting 1000 Gb in to an iPod is not going to be cheap and while I have a working prototype and development is still continuing, it may be that I will not move to production if the demand is not great enough and the resulting price would be too high!!!Īgain while I have a working prototype, I am still at the very early development stage. So for 256Gb or less in storage, the iFlash and SD or CF card will always be the better option – especially in terms of battery life. This will be a complementary product to the iFlash, it will be designed for people who want more than 256Gb.
