Has anybody successfully replaced the HDD from a 2nd generation iPod (Touchwheel - A1019)?
I'm wondering if anybody can point to a list of confirmed HDD replacements for this unit? I would like to upgrade the capacity but don't want to purchase a drive that isn't going to work.
Thanks!

@renomd here is a list of the drives supported. Problem with some of the iPods firmware is that it may limit the size as well

Are these confirmed tested by anybody on the 2g?
I used a MK3006GAL to update my drive on a 2G. That is all the confirmation I have. If you check the Toshiba Specs for each one of the drives you can see that they have a compatible interface.
Thanks, although it's not just about compatible interfaces; the iPod's firmware could have a hard limit built in for some reason, like with what apparently exists with the 3g according to that site.
That is correct. To large a harddrive and your RAM cannot keep up with the storage amount and will not properly read the files etc.
I've accepted the answer, but really for your comment @oldturkey03 . Thanks!

@renomd what size HDD does it have now and what capacity upgrade were you thinknig off?
par oldturkey03
it has a 10GB drive (MK1003GAL). I'm looking for a higher capacity obviously, but am wondering if the firmware has a drive limit to it.
par RenoMD
A 20GB will definitely work since there was a 20GB version and no firmware issues with it. I've had no issue with a 30GB and the firmware did allow the upgrade and no issues with the RAM either during playback and syncing.
par oldturkey03
I can say that the iPod 2nd gen with the touch wheel is not compatible with the MK2006GAL or MK3006GAL. Received both, they work on an IDE converter but the iPod is unable to use them.
par RenoMD
I tried an MK2004GAL (20GB) on an iPod 1G and was unsuccessful during the restore process in iTunes. It also worked well on a PC so definitely a compatibility issue. The 1G and 2G share the same firmware so...
I've also tried compact flash adapters and SD to Ziff to IDE adapters sold on iFlash.xyz and have been unsuccessful. I'm about to try their mSATA adapter and I'll post a follow up here. I think the 1G and 2G have the best DAC for audio playback.
Also working with an iPod Mini 2G and iPod 4G seeing they should work with my SD to CF adapters and Rockbox. Those might be the sweet spot for getting classic hardware to run with higher capacity storage.
