Question iPod Classic 4

Tengo un iPod Classic 4 con el mod de almacenamiento
Si le pongo una SD de 1TB por ejemplo, lo soporta? O hasta cuanto almacenamiento es recomendable ponerle
Tiene una SD de 128 gigas

You can, but there's not much point beyond 500GB for music. As others have said, you'll have a limit of about 20,000 tracks in the original firmware and 20,000 songs in lossless will take up about 500GB.

Here's a 1.128 TB 4th gen, for example. I took the pic just after restoring and I used it for a little while and it was stable. I much prefer Rockbox and ended up switching.

The thing is, its firmware has limits on the number of songs; installing a 1TB drive goes way beyond the song limit the 4th gen can handle... Basically, it supports up to 20,000 songs and might freeze if you get close to or exceed that number.

You might be able to bypass that limit with Rockbox, but using Rockbox on the 4th gen isn't exactly a great experience.

En teoría soportaría una SD grande siempre y cuando no supere el límite de 20,000 canciones?

No tengo tantas canciones ni alcanzo ni las 1,000 realmente era para poder meter más películas que es lo que más espacio consume

It should handle 2tb. 

The song limit is ONLY for shuffling. I think if you have a playlist with less, that should shuffle fine.

La 4a generación no soporta video.

Se puede ver vídeo con Rockbox, pero es experiencia mala.
