What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.

Pros: This board made it possible to build a carputer using a 30 GB iPod hard drive. It is bootable and Windows went on without a problem. I haven't tried a different OS, but it should be the same. Came with two ribbon cables. The LEDs, power and disk access, are super bright. 
Cons: It would be nicer if the power connector was a small one like a floppy disk drive power connector. It didn't come with any documentation. There is a jumper and I think it is for master or slave select. I left it the way it came and it worked great. 
Other Thoughts: I haven't tried any long term testing, but it loaded and booted Windows just fine. You can not make it much smaller because of the size of the 40 pin IDE connector. 
Bottomline: If you think you might use it, get it. You can use 1.8" hard drives to save space and keep the noise down. 
					

Works great to hook up 5g iPod

Pros: Great price - how can you go wrong?
Did the job to help fix my iPod. 
Cons: ZIF clip seems a little flimsy, but I don't know how they could really make it any stronger, given how small it is. It can be a little difficult to figure out which way the ribbon cable attaches (i.e. which side is the top). I figured it out with a little trial and error. 
Other Thoughts: I successfully used this to hook up a 5g iPod hard drive to my PC to run Spinrite. Worked great. 
Bottomline: If you have 5g iPod disc problems, you can't afford not to pick this up. What have you got to lose? Other connectors like this, across the net, can be very expensive.
