The 80GB Zune can hold around 70 full length movies. A 30GB Zune may hold around 25 full length movies at best. The stock 30GB Zune holds over 7000 tracks of music which is not shabby, but movies take up a lot more space than mp3's.

On the other hand, perhaps they kept the drive small to allow for a lower price point and a future development path for a larger capacity Zune 2.0 device. The Zune design team may have felt removing this piece would jeopardize the structural integrity of the player. This casing shields the drive against crushing forces that may occur when the drive is stepped on, sat on, or otherwise abused.

In order to install the thicker 80GB drive a protective metal casing must be removed from inside the Zune. Since there is room inside for a larger hard drive, why aren't they being sold at retail stores? There are 2 possible answers to that question. The 80GB Zune has the exact same dimensions as the 30GB Zune, unlike the 80GB iPod which is larger than it's 30GB version. Our drive of choice was the Toshiba 80GB MK8009GAH which sells for around $240. They even offer free installation with the purchase of a drive.

offers replacement hard drives in 30GB, 40GB, 60GB and 80GB sizes. Compared to limited edition pink Zunes that sell on ebay for $800+ we think the 80 Gigger is a steal. The 80GB version costs $489.98 total and has no warranty from Microsoft. The only thing better than a Zune is a bigger 80GB Zune of course.
