how sure are you?.....i wanna use one for a small external hd and for music but if it won't hold my other files i'll need to save more for a newer one......
You can place any files on the ipod. It will act as an external hdd. I use it for video storage/ picture storage (3rd gen ipod).
You can make a shortcut to your ipod drive (you don't need to make a shortcut if you don't want to) and then copy/paste or drag items into ipod drive folder. (Find your drive in "My Computer" etc.)
