Does anyone know if a the MK3004GAH (I'm guessing 3rd Gen 30 GB HD) will fit into the new 4th Gen 20 GB iPod?

I think only the 40gb ones are bigger from there on. That may fit but I'm not 100%.

it will work but as stated above a bigger back would be required as the 30gb drive is a double platter drive thus thicker than the single platter 20gb.
1g and 2g 'backings' are definately not usable on a 4g. i dont think the 3g one will work either despite being a similar shape but dont quote me on that one  would be a real pain to find i recon!
