Original drive still going strong!
Original drive still going strong!
Just an appreciation post for hard drives that survive apocalypsis events.

"Going strong" sounds nice, no battery life issues? My old devices don't work for more than a few minutes.
In this case, I meant the original 120gb hard drive. That's the reason why I synced it and left it running with the apple OS. I had to upgrade the battery (bought some cheap ones via aliexpress) and now it works like a charm. The only issue was the first charge, it took the ipod a while to recognise the battery, so having a fire wire cable to feed it the first time should do the trick. Since then, this little grandpa is still rolling for more years, I hope!
Thanks for the tip, definitely an interesting weekend project!
