Depends on the person I suppose. It's still an extra 65 albums on 80GB. Either way, the extra 20GB isn't the big issue here. Solid state drives are catching up pretty quickly to traditional hard drives. It wouldn't be surprising to see them eventually replace what we use today as the most common type of permanent storage. So it's arguably likely that ZIF is the last connection type we'll really see on 1.8" hard drives before they stop developing an outdated technology. So, if we lay out a practical way to install ZIF drives into iRiver players, that opens up the next few years of technological developments to modders. So maybe you don't want a 100GB hard drive, but what about 200, or 300? I think that's what this will allow over the next several years.
