I have a ipod classic 160gb silver serial number 8K***9ZS. Im wondering what year and gen mine is?

Please do not post your serial number in a public forum.

Try this page to identify your iPod using its model number.

Identify your iPod model - Apple Support

Or enter your serial number here: Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support

You really should not post personal data on public forums such as these where it can be harvested by scammers. I have requested the Hosts edit it for your protection.

It is apparently an iPod classic (Late 2008/7th Gen).
