I know it is possible to upgrade my ipod video 5th generation from 30gb to 80gb. But, Can I upgrade it to a large HD than 80GB? Something like 120gb or 160gb?
Questa è una buona domanda?

jalandiso, yes you can. "The 5th gen Classic drive is interchangeable but beware that the 30GB use a slim drive. It's a 5mm drive, there are also 8mm drives out there. So what you need to look out for is the thickness of the drive. If you get a thicker drive you will require a deeper rear panel, a new head phone jack since the cable has to be longer as well as a new battery for the same reason You will also need the rubber bumpers from the bigger drive as well. There is a 240GB drive out that will fit your iPod. read more about that on here. The 160GB are available on ebay for around $80. Always get a new HDD cable as well. Use this guide to give you an idea of how to do it. Hope this helps, good luck.

Thanks a lot for your fast and clear answer.
I'll try to find one of 160GB on change it.
Thanks again
Thank you for accepting my answer. All the best to you and your iPod and do not hesitate to ask if you need any help.
I just did it. I purchased the 160gb hard drive here. Toshiba 160gb thin. I was planning to replace the HD on my 7gen classic and i messed up the battery connector. So I got my 30gb 5gen and open it up exchange the HD and i also used the back plate from my 7gen cause of the battery. It worked perfect. I just finished it and decided to post this. Nothing to it. After you're done plug it into iTunes and restore it. Done
