This hard drive will work in any of these model and year iPods:

  • 1st generation 10GB iPod Classic (2001) - reads "M5841" and "10GB" on the back and the wheel spins. 
  • 2nd generation iPod Classic (2002; often confused with the 1st generations because they look very similar) - reads "A1019" on the back, has either 10GB or 20GB printed on the back and the wheel does not spin but uses a "touch" interface.
The listing includes only the hard drive.
