Apple iPod classic 80 GB Black (6th Generation)

I purchased the 160GB iPod Classic to replace a 5th generation 60GB iPod with Video.

I wanted the large capacity.

It works as described; however, the 160GB drive used is very, very slow. If all you're doing is listening to music or watching videos, it's OK. However, playing games, like Mini-Golf, is painful. I owned Mini-Golf on my previous iPod and really liked it. On this iPod, the game is constantly pausing, waiting for information from the hard drive.

I also can't help but wonder if Apple reduced whatever RAM is inside the 160GB iPod. That would explain the constant pausing while info from the hard drive is downloaded.

Summary: Music & video are fine...everything else is slow and slower.

By the way, I knew about Coverflow before purchasing this iPod. I hate it. I wish there were a way to disable it while the iPod is using the main menu. I've disabled it in every place I can.

I works fine. However, I Tunes overloads my RAM whenever the library updates so badly that it locks my computer up. Apple should find a better way to update the library.
When I called Apple Tech services they were totally unhelpful with the library update problem. The blamed it on Windows and gave me no solution.

I've had ipods for a while now and with each upgrade I'm further enamored with the technology. I'm now on my first touch, and it's great. I still use this one for the capacity.

I love this product. I gives me plenty of space to load it up with music and video for me to enjoy on a long commute to work (on a bus - not driving and watching :-) )

Una excelentisima compra por medio de amazon ademas de un exelente trato, pero lo importante el producto es muy bueno y de muchisima calidad, lo recomiendo ampliamente
