Iriver eventually dropped UMS support for the U10, T30, T20 and T10 models in favor of Microsoft's [[Media Transfer Protocol|MTP]]. The company later released an official ''Firmware Updater'' that allows users to switch between the MTP and UMS interfaces.<ref name="firmwareupdater">{{cite web | url=http://www.iriver.com/html/support/faq/sufq_view.asp?idx=387 | title=iriver Firmware Updater}}</ref> ==== Hard disk based ==== *iGP series ** iGP-100 (1.5 GB) USB 2.0 connectivity.
