I am looking to upgrade the hard drives on 3 of my recording devices. Problem is I don't know which hard drive to get, like not sure the model number or anything but here is all the info I have:
Device 1
- iRiver h10 5GB version uses (ST650211FX, ST660211FX, & ST650211FX)
Device 2
- iRiver h120 uses 20gb version uses (MK2004GAL)
Device 3
- iRiver h10 20GB version uses (HTC426020G7CE00)
I want to upgrade Device 1's hard drive anywhere from 40GB-120GB but have no idea which manufacturer has it and where to buy it.
I want to upgrade Device 2 and Device 3's hard drives anywhere from 60GB-120GB but have no idea which manufacturer has it and where to buy it.
Does anyone know exactly which one, I did research but I am not that good with hard ware. I just want to buy that harddrive so please tell me which one to buy
Tom's Hardware is a great resource for hard drives. I would ask on the forums over there for a compatible hard drive and then use the search function to see which company has it for the cheapest price.
Could also be worth looking into the CF mod and bypass HDs altogether.
The drives in #1 are Seagate drives, the second drive is Toshiba and the last one is Hitachi.

re: the toshiba, im actually shopping for that style drive right now.
id recommend an SSD instead, all of these are on ebay and amazon new
ksd-cf18.6-128ms, 128 gb, ~$150
ksd-cf18.6-064ms, 64 gb, ~$75
ksd-cf18.6-032ms, 32gb, ~$55
battery life would be the biggest difference with an ssd
heres a great resource:

from that you can see your iriver h10s use a 40-pin zif, at least the 20 gb model....
