Judging by the sluggish response and loud “clicking” sounds, my iPod‘s internal hard drive is having experiencing a meltdown.
Before I shell out a couple hundred bills for a shiny new model, I’d like to try to resuscitate the internal hard drive by attaching it to a PC and running Spinrite.
However, my iPod uses a 1.8 inch Toshiba hard drive. Before I can attach it, I need to get my hands on an 1.8 inch to 3.5 inch IDE adapter.
Does anyone know where I can find one?


A quick search for “ipod ide adapter” on ebay found numerous entries.
