Photos of iPod Hard Disk Testing Hardware

I’m posting several pictures of the hardware that I use to test iPod hard drives. First is the CF to IDE adapter. It is pictured here reading a 4GB Seagate ST1 from an iPod Mini.

Here’s the front view.

Here’s the setup for reading 1.8′ Toshiba drives. Essentially you’re adapting from 1.8′ to 2.5′ and finally to 3.5′ (standard IDE). Not pretty, but it works.
