Extremely Quiet, Thank Goodness.......2005-10-08

My main concern (and something which held me back from buying a Microdrive for years) was noise, considering that this is an actual miniature hard drive. It was extremely difficult to find real user information regarding noise on this. I hate hard drive noise, and for cameras with sound/video recorders on them, especially ones with good microphones, having componentry with moving parts could be a dealbreaker. I finally chanced it and wish I had done so long ago. The drive is extremely quiet in its standard spin noise. Standard spin noise is almost inaudible; I have to hold the camera up to my ear to hear it. It does not show up in my audio camera audio recordings. Head access and drive spinup is more audible, but still does not seem to create a problem (and I am a stickler for noise). It's almost comical to hear the drive spinup and head access noise, because it sounds exactly like a hard drive--much quieter, of course.

The drive gets quite hot on continuous use. Solid state can get hot, too. The drive cannot be used at elevations above 5,000 ft or the heads will crash. It is Type II CF (slightly thicker than Type I) and not as many devices take Type II. Having a small hard drive uses battery somewhat faster but it hasn't been a drag.

Heads auto-park when drive is not actively accessing. Drive is reputed to be MUCH more delicate than solid state CF. I don't know why the drive should be so fragile in its parked state, and don't worry about that much, but what I do worry about is something happening while the heads are actually accessing. I basically baby it and am extremely careful with it, especially when the camera is on. Even beforehand, though, I got in the habit of putting the camera's wrist strap around my wrist in case I dropped it or something happened. This could save not only your camera, but your expensive microdrive.

Microdrives were about half the cost of solid state CF. But recently, I've seen cheap (slow) CF memory on sale matching Microdrive price per megabyte. Good quality (fast, i.e. Lexar's high speed stuff) CF media is slowly closing the gap but still almost double the price per megabyte, unfortunately.

Although Microdrives are technically slower than the many of the quicker CF cards, they have a small (128K) buffer which can help with CF bottlenecks. I bought a Sandisk Ultra II CF card for 640x480/30 frames per second movies on my digital camera, and the Sandisk couldn't even get past 1 minute due to some bottleneck on my card. I should've gone with Lexar as I only later learned that Write Acceleration Technology was proprietary to Lexar (camera must be compatible with it, and mine was--I just thought it was a camera thing, not a media thing).

If you don't go with a Microdrive, or if you have the money to do so, I suggest Lexar Media's later high speed CF offerings.

I've also stopped pushing Seagate's ST1 (Microdrive equivalent) because they have disrespected their loyal customer base by making exclusive/full production contracts with OEM's for YEARS and not even releasing a few ST1's retail to the public, all the while telling customers who put off buying Hitachi Microdrives for literally years (like me) to keep waiting, giving them fake hopeful estimated release dates, only to never release the product and never contact the customer, and only to say "Oh yeah--we pushed the release date back again--now we're hoping next year at the earliest". OEM ST1's pulled from devices and sold on Ebay generally won't work because they are not fully CF compatible, meaning they will probably work in most card readers, but probably will not work in most cameras etc. This is intentional. Only the "Retail" drives will work in most devices (cameras, etc). OEM drives typically work on just ATA/IDE standards and do not respond to the full CompactFlash specification/command set. That goes for Hitachi Microdrives, too. Only buy from reputable sources like directly from Amazon (which also have generous return policies) where you know you're getting a retail and not OEM drive.

As a final note, Secure Digital (SD) memory does not seem to have the architectural bottlenecks inherent in CF cards & devices, and price/MB rates have tumbled shockingly (about half the price of CF media now?!). SD is MUCH smaller and the carrying cases are normally just retrofitted CF cases, but it emables the camera to be smaller. Available capacities are not as high as with CompactFlash, but 1 & 2 GB SD cards are now becoming common. So you may want to take that into account when considering your next camera.

Hitachi Microdrive 2GB, nice till it runs!!!!.......2005-05-30

I bought one of these last October 2004 in a package with my Nikon D-70... Perfect 'till a couple of days ago when the Camera said Error and the card reader goes crazy with lots of "clipping" sound and no info, no remouvable media.
So.... that my rate... Now you know why this company sells for less.

Super fast and affordable.......2005-05-23

i just got one of these for my Nikon D70. It costs the same as a one gigabyte compact flash card. It doesn't have quite as fast of a write speed but it does fine for the 3 pictures per second on the nikon d70.
