Fitment

Medium confidence

Storage

Factory capacities

Factory HDD: 80GB thin / 160GB thick (2007).

Upgrade path

iFlash-Solo + 128GB SDXC; Apple LBA28 addressing limits 6th-gen Classic to 128GB usable.

Maximum practical capacity

128GB usable maximum (maker-documented LBA28 limit)

Fitment notes

160GB thick 2007 version requires the iFlash HDD ribbon; distinguish thick 160GB (2007) from thin 160GB (2009).

High confidence

Front / back shell

Apple’s replacement rear panels are offered in separate thin and thick Classic variants; this catalogue row includes 80 GB thin and 160 GB thick configurations, so match actual case depth.

Choose by chassis depth, not the 160 GB capacity alone; original 160 GB thick and later 160 GB thin Classic are different shells.

Medium confidence

Click wheel

iFixit lists a Classic click wheel with cable marking 821-0545-A; a specialist listing identifies the Classic wheel as different from Video 5th/5.5 (821-0372-A). Exact support by Classic sub-generation is not stated.

Do not substitute Video 5th/5.5 click wheel; inspect cable/connector and sub-generation before ordering.

Medium confidence

Screen / LCD

iFixit lists an LCD specifically for the 160 GB Classic; it explicitly says this panel works only with the 160 GB model. The separate 80/120 GB LCD is a different part.

The Classic 6th-gen 80 GB configuration needs the 80/120 GB panel; confirm capacity/logic-board variant before ordering.
