    I was so excited to learn the 128GB works on H120 model because most of the forum and even sellers said the H140 can only be upgraded, not H120.

    Well, I am planning to upgrade mine to 32GB only since 128GB is still quite pricy, My question for you is, does your iriver H120 now able to run using the original iriver firmware or it must be Rockbox version.

    There is only one thing I don't like using Rockbox, is the recording mode. Rockbox does not give you a choice of using external mic. It only offers internal mic, line in, digital and radio. If they ever come up with a newer version and allow you to use an external mic, that will be wonderful.

    Thank you​​

      Not sure if it work with SSD, but I did it with the HD H120 when it stucks with the Rockbox mode. (I am still using the dual boot model)
      for a quick reset, you can switch the hold button to "hold" position, and then use a small pin to reset the H120. The reset button is at the bottom of the player right next two the USB connection jack. I hope it works with SSD. Let me know. -fedc​​

        The H120 with 128GB SSD only works with rockbox, not with the original FW. I'm mot sure, if this applies to all SSDs. To be on the safe side, you should in any case install rockbox before you switch the drives.

        Thanks for the hint with the reset button. I tried that at the time, when my H120 freezed, but unfortunately it did not work.
        Since then I changed the setting "disk spindown time" and had no problems with new crashes so far.

          Thanks. When you mentioned the software"Swithknife" in the very first message, I tried to look for this software but I cannot find such name. Do you meant "Switchknife" or "Swiftknife". If I don't use this software, can I use other 3rd party software or just use notebook, Mircosoft Vista OS notebook, and it will recongize the SSD drive and let me to reformat the drive to FAT32 instead of NTFS?

          Thank you​​

            Hi therer,

            I guess I found my answer. The name is called Swiftknife. This software allows user to format a big capacity drive (SSD or HDD), into FAT32 format.

            If the drive is only 32GB or less, Win XP or Win Vista should be able to do the formatting without using 3rd party software and therefore, no need to purchase the Swiftknife.

            Am I right?​​
