The iRiver has a 1.8" drive, and the largest one available is 40GB. I
have heard about 60GB drives, but I'm not sure if they are available yet.

The problem is that the 40GB drive is thicker, and won't fit in the case
of the H120. So you will be stuck with 20GB if you buy the H120, at
least until the hard drive manufacturers find a way to make
single-platter 1.8" 40GB drives...

BTW, changing the hard drive isn't that hard, no soldering is required
afaicr.
