Here at Asylum headquarters, a sense of shame just descended because all of a sudden our second-gen 4 GB Nano feels a little inadequate. Our sheepishness comes from Rapid Repair, which is now offering a 240 GB hard drive for the iPod video. Think about it this way: An iPod drive of this size could back up a media server. Furthermore, if a song is 5 MB, and there are 1,000 MBs in a gigabyte, that's roughly 50,000 songs. (Yeah, we know there's technically 1,024 MBs in a GB, but this is back-of-the-cocktail-napkin math.)
The drive is a typical platter-based design, unlike the smaller iPods which use flash memory, so you'll want to keep it far from the magnet set.
The drives are going for $300, and you'll have to get yourself on a waiting list if you want one when they're made available on March 3.

I need to see how many people actually fill up a 30GB!!! Who in this world will fill up a 240GB unless they buy every album in Best Buy, including the albums that they don't like!!!

Uh you don't have to buy every album in best buy to fill up that space. Just between myself and one of my friends we have over 500gb of music. It really isn't that hard to accumulate. You just have to be one of those people that goes looking for new music to listen to.
