Chosen Solution
I replaced the hard drive in my 80g iPod Classic (Thin body) and when I tried to snap the case back together, holy cow, the hard drive is too thick! Will the back plate of a 120g or 160g iPod Classic work with this? Is it a thicker back plate? Will the metal clips be the same as on the original 80g back plate? Thanks for all the help guys from all my previous problems. I love this site!!
Well according to the product’s page, that shouldn’t be a problem, all the back plates are interchangeable. Tell us what kind of drive you purchased, maybe you purchased one that’s the wrong size, in which case you can get one that would fit here.
Yeah the 120/160gb hard drives are dual platter which means they have two spinning disks instead of the one that the 80gb drive had. You need the thicker back plate.
