Alright, I'm getting all the supplies together to swap a solid state drive into my iPod Video. I can grab a brand new Samsung 256GB drive from Amazon for $90, or get a used one pulled from a Lenovo laptop from a computer supplier for $70 from Ebay. Any risks I should know about? Are there any fundamental differences in a drive that came in a laptop vs. a new one you would buy to swap in?

Here are the drives

I'd spend the extra to get a new one. SSD's have a read/write limit. Granted, it is quite high and most people won't hit it, but it's better safe then sorry. Plus Samsung SSDs are some of the best ones.

 

Edit: Just noticed both are Samsung... go new, just in case of issues, since you'll have a nice warranty on it.

Thanks for the input. I guess $20 is worth it for the assurance/warranty.

Will do. Hopefully I should have all the parts by next weekend.

So I have an interview next week for a job that pay a lot more, but it's a bit of a drive. The other awesome part is, it does not start until May 9th, so if I get it, I'm quitting my job and traveling all of April.
