Summary: Piece of Garbage
Review: I ordered this a about two and half weeks ago through an Amazon marketplace seller. It worked fine for my digital shoots out of studio for about a week, in fact, I used it on two shoots and all was Ok. Then, it died inexplicably. Nothing I could do could save it - My Canon 20D could not format it, and windows XP couldn't format it. It crashed -plain and simple. BUT - Amazon's stated policy is that there are no returns or refunds to Marketplace sellers after ONE WEEK - so I'm stuck with the piece of garbage. I even emailed the seller who stated the same.

Do yourself favor - if it seems too good to be true, it is. I have two IBM Microdrives that have worked perfectly for almost a year each now. If you are shopping for a Microdrive, go with IBM or above all else, buy DIRECTLY from Amazon, not through one of their affiliates.

Summary: Don't fall into the MuVo trap.
Review: It is being said that the Creative MuVo MP3 player contains this drive for a lesser price. For one, the price has dropped to about $20 higher than the price of a MuVo II 4GB, and comes with the very useful travel kit.

There are alot of people complaining that the Hitachi contained in the MuVo wont work with the Sony F828 camera. This is a myth, the drive in the MuVo players released PRIOR to the Sony F828 where compatible, newer models are NOT.

In short, you cannot use this drive which is contained in the MuVo II because it is now incompatible. Dont waste your time, buy this drive, it is a good value.

I also do not recommend scouring ebay for an older model of the MuVo which is compatible.

Summary: Great Prices...Great Deals...Act Now!
Review: Right now this is the cheapest drive available on the market and the equivalent drive offered by Lexar is over $1000!!!! Plus, many merchants are selling the drive for even less than Amazon!!! Take advantage of this opportunity!!!

Summary: Great product, but your unlikely to cheat the price
Review: The 4GB Compact Flash Compatible micrdrive is one of the best CF cards on the market, and its priced at a reasonably, and virtually uncheatable. Some of the newer jukeboxes don't use microdrives, so don't expect to find one when you crack open your mp3player and void your warranty!

Summary: Great product, but your unlikely to cheat the price
Review: Well, this is certainly a nice product. Much quicker than a 4Gb flash card, very sturdy and works in most CF cameras. But, are you ready to shell out more than $400? I know I am not, so here's a nice shortcut:

Step 1: Browse for the Creative Labs Nomad MuVo 4 GB MP3 Player on Amazon.
Step 2: Buy the player for $200.
Step 3: Unscrew the back of the player.
Step 4: Take out the 4GB Hitachi microdrive and throw away the player.
Step 5: Pop the microdrive in your cam, format it and voila!

There you have it for only $200, instead of the listed $480!
