IBM Microdrive 1GB Compact Flash Card

It is because i am using one and it has helped me and lasted for a very long. it has re-stand some bad conditions when i was using it.

Others, far brighter than me, have run comparative read and write tests (look on the Web). The Microdrive came out in the top few (beating most Flash Cards) in terms of BOTH its read and its wrire capabilities. It's an impressive device, but take care how you handle it. It is fairly robust, but it is a disk drive after all.

An excellent memory card, the IBM microdrive I own is easily the best I've used in a long time, having previously had smaller capacity compactflash and smartmedia cards. The large size makes it perfect for compatible cameras and simple data storage and transfer. I liken it to the USB pen drive I have, only larger. Both fill a gap between floppy discs and CDs, though the microdrive is more durable and versatile; in that it can be used in an host device with a card reader slot.

Easy to use, and competitively priced, it was a purchase I don't regret

The weight was slightly more than I expected, given its size, but even so, I wouldn't be without it.
