HITACHI MD2GBA 2GB MicroDrive 3K4 with Travel Kit

Summary: must-have for canon 20d users!
Review: I bought the 2GB microdrive for my Canon 20D. Many people advised me not to do so. They told me that they are unreliable because of the moving parts [that spin]. They also told me that the microdrive will really suck up your battery. I can happily report that I have not encountered any problems with the microdrive and there are no disappointments here. Why spend more money for a Lexar CF when this product is just as good and sells for a heck of a lot less?
The capacity of this card is huge and it should be a neccessity to all 20D users.

Summary: An excelent deal for speed and space
Review: Picked the MicroDrive up months of debating, and I'm thrilled with how well it works in my Canon PowerShot G5. The 2gigs will hold over 780 5 megapixel super-high res pictures or 550 raw-mode pictures. Enough to go an a two week vacation and take as many pictures as I want without lugging a laptop.

With my old compact flash card writing the camera buffer out after a burst mode of 5 pictures took 40 seconds, with the MicroDrive it takes 20 seconds. The MicroDrive is much faster than any CF card I've used before.

I'd recommend this if you have a high end camera like my PowerShot G5 and need to take a massive amount of pictures without swapping cards or being near a computer.

Summary: Hitachi 2gb Drive works great with Olympus 8080z
Review: The Hitachi 2gb Drive works great in my Olympus 8080z. The performance is equal or better than the SanDisk Flash that I replaced. I can take over 500 highest resolution pictures on the 2gb MicroDrive.

The MicorDrive was recognized immediately when I plugged it in my computer. The download speeds were fast.

I have not thoroughly tested for power consumption. Todate I have taken a hundred plus pictures with a mix a flash on the original charge of the camera battery. So far the power consumption does not seem to be much different then the flash memory.

It is less expensive to purchase the Hitachi 2gb drive vs a 2gb flash memory card.

I highly recommend purchasing the Hitachi Microdrive.
