My 30GB 5G is still going strong. It replaced my 20GB 3G which died after a much shorter time than the current one has been going for. Pretty sure the 3G died after 3 years and I'm up to 5 years on this one and still going strong. It is only used in my car connected to the head unit so I guess it gets a lot less use. Hope they don't phase out the classic cos that's what I want to replace it with eventually!
