Summary: Fabulous storage for digital cameras and Pocket PCs
Review: After pioneering miniature hard drive technology with its 340 MB Microdrive, IBM answered the eternal call for "More space!" with its winning 1 GB drive. I have owned and used my 1 GB IBM Microdrive for the past year in conditions ranging from normal office and home use to camping and hiking trips in Big Bend National Park and the Texas coast. My Microdrive spends most of its time in a Casio Cassiopeia E-115 Pocket PC PDA serving as file storage (including a subset of my MP3 collection), but it works equally well in a Apple Titanium Powerbook G4 laptop using the included PCMCIA card adapter. (Caveat: As of Nov 2001, Apple's OS X doesn't presently support the Microdrive; OS 9.x does so flawlessly, however.)My husband uses his 1 GB IBM Microdrive as the primary storage media for his Canon D-30 digital camera's images. Fabulous storage for digital photographers, offering you the freedom to shoot high res and raw images without fretting about running out of storage space. A fantastic buy, especially as the price has come down due to its popularity. Note: I have no experience with the Belkin-branded Microdrive, only the IBM MD. Iomega's MD is produced by IBM and just rebranded, and this may also be the case with the Belkin drive. Enjoy!

Summary: Virtually unlimited digital photo storage
Review: I bought a 1GB Microdrive Travel Kit (includes PC Card adaptor to allow use in laptops). I get over 650 high rez pictures when used in conjunction with the Nikon Coolpix 995 camera. It also comes in very handy for transferring large files from laptop to laptop. If you're after maximum storage for your dollars, then there can be only one choice, the Microdrive is a clear winner here.
