Product Description

Product Description

It's a fact: in the world of storage capacity, bigger is better. But when it comes to portability, small and light is the way to go. Hitachi's Microdrive 3K4 digital media marries its go-anywhere size to 4 GB's of record-it-all storage. No bigger than a matchbook and just as light, the Microdrive will fit 75 hours of high-quality music into the change pocket of your jeans. Or swap out all those songs for a DVD movie. At 2GB, it's four times bigger than its predecessor and much more economical than standard flash memory. More capacity means more photos, more music, more data, and more possibilities.Hitachi's Microdrive 3K4 provides cost-effective personal storage. Weighing just over half an ounce (16 grams) and about the size of a matchbook, Hitachi's Microdrive continues to reign as the world's smallest hard disk drive. This drive uses ultra-miniaturized components, including Hitachi's femto slider technology, which enables higher capacities and better power efficiency.With a maximum sustained data rate of over 7MB/sec, Hitachi's 4GB Microdrive is the fastest product of its kind. No other product on the market offers a better combination of storage capacity, portability, compact size, performance and affordability.The arrival of a 4GB capacity also enables and delivers a cost-effective solution for running complex operating systems in embedded applications, or portable digital devices like PDAs and handheld PCs.

3.0 out of 5 stars It Works Great, April 13, 2008

By	R. Bertucci (Mississippi) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased This CF+II Micro Drive in December of 07 and I have used it in both my Nikon D70 and Fuji S9600 Cameras. I am Proud to say that the Card Performs Flawlessly. No Read, or Write error.

The Speed is with out a doubt slower than your 300X or 50000000X flash drives, but the Upload speed is a little painful, however the writing speed when taking pictures with my Nikon D70 is reasonable.

I can get over 1hr of High Quality Recording in video mode in my Fuji camera and the Drive does get warm, but does not fail. in fact the other night I recorded a good old moment for 35 mins straight when I forgot my video camera at home.

I am looking to buy another Micro Drive so I can have a 4+ Gig drive in both cameras.

I Take pictures every day, and I have had many times over 3 gigs of high quality pictures stored on it until I could upload them to my computer and for 5 months of hard core picture taking this little 4 gig drive is still kicking.

I do recomend that you check your camera for compatilbilty and as for good measure format the drive when you get it and run some basic disk checks for errors before you take unforgetable moments.

Pros: Lots of memory
Very cheap

Cons: slow in both read and write speeds
