After initial skepticism, whether a rotating mass storage of rough use practice would be well grown in a camera in the long run, I'm after a good year toughest practice totally thrilled by this storage solution: Both in very hot and humid environments such as the tropics and near the equator as in the Alps in freezing temperatures made me the Microdrive left not a single time in the lurch and thousands of shots without a single error saved. The Microdrive offers generous space and consumes very little power. An excellent addition to the tiny hard drive portable storage systems such as the X-Drive, which in turn contain a battery-powered 2.5-inch hard drive of 40-80 gigabytes and in addition to various reading slots for memory cards and a plug slot for the Microdrive offer: Is the small drive full, simply plug it into the slot of the X-Drive, the data loads without cables mobile on the larger hard drive, placed the Microdrive again in the camera and has a virgin GB available - or a backup copy of all data. Especially when you travel or multi-day appointments which report is an invaluable combination solution. For Vielfotografierer, filmmakers and professionals no way the Microdrive passes - because in addition to the capacity it offers yet another advantage: It collects data much faster than chip-based memory cards, which lets you work with high and highest resolutions and SVGA video mode.
