Hitachi Microdrive (HMS360404D5CF00) 4 GB CF+ Hard Drive

Pros: What I like about this drive is its robustness in handling.
Cons: Power drawn and inability for fast continuous shooting due to slower speed than CFC.

This micro hard drive from Hitachi is just beautiful. I am using it in my Nikon D70s digital SLR and so far its performance has been awesome. Extremely fast write even
RAW +JPEG files and practically immediate preview after each shot. With the new EN-EL3a lithium ion battery, power consumption has also become acceptable. In fine JPEG mode with 20 % flash usage I have yet to recharge my battery after 400 shots may be it has come down to recharge?.I am told that this micro drive is a monster as far as bty is concerned! However with my standby battery I am not worried. Yes if you compare with the Ultra II Compact Flash Card it does consume more power. I bought this drive for multiple usage. What I like about this drive is it is not affected by electro static fields, normal mag fields and rough handling to name a few. I use it right from my lap top to various other gadgets requiring a 4GB micro drive.
