Does an iPod Have a Hard Drive?
One can tell if a particular iPOd has a hard drive in it by putting one’s ear against the iPod while it is syncing. If one hears a hum, whine, or hiss, or there are periodic clicking sounds, then the iPod has a hard drive.
The Shuffle, The Nano, and the Touch have the solid state flash memory. All other iPods have a hard disk drive on which they store music and videos.
