Creative Zen Xtra Hard Drive

[zom247]

I've been given a Zen Xtra but want to put a bigger HDD in it. Does anyone know what's the largest drive this player will take? I'm looking at putting a 160 gb one in to fit all my mp3 and for future-proofing.

When I had a zen xtra i changed from a 40gig to 20gig drive as I didn't need the additional space. It was a standard 2.5 inch hard drive (4200rpm) but not really sure if it will take a large a drive as that. Also must be standard pata connection rather than sata.

Never actually swapped the drives, but I used this guide to remove my HDD and direct fit it into my PC after the connectors or interface or somesuch failed on my Zen Xtra 60gb.
