 Microdrive - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From 1999 to 2003 they were commonly known as IBM Microdrives, and from 2003 onward as Hitachi Microdrives.
In December 2002 Hitachi bought IBM's disk drive business, including the Microdrive technology and brand.
Furthermore they have some benefits over flash memory in terms of the way data is stored and manipulated.

 Steves Digicams - Microdrive
Hitachi Global Storage said that it planned to produce a Microdrive with 4 gigabytes of storage.
Hitachi engineers estimate that the new Microdrive's data transfer rates are faster than all competitive solid-state data storage products available today.
Microdrive also features a high-performance 97.9 Mbps data transfer rate to accommodate rapid shooting and moving picture data.

 eWEEK: Hitachi Microdrive Feels Heat from Flash
IBM later transferred the Microdrive to Hitachi as part of a merger of assets that will see IBM essentially exit the disk storage business over the next three years.
In addition, the Microdrive requires the use of a FAT32-compliant camera; there are about 13 cameras already on the market that use the FAT32 file system, according to the enthusiast journal Digital Photography Review.
When the 1GB Microdrive was introduced in late 2000, its creator, IBM, said that the drive would offer far more storage than the competing flash cards of the time.

 LetsGoDigital - IFA 2003 - World of Consumer Electronics - Live Report
The technique of the Microdrive is based on high capacity storage.
The taking-over has lead to the situation that Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, HGST, has taken on Microdrive as well as the high quality server storage equipment in its assortment.
As soon as the prices of the Flash memory reaches the price of the Microdrives, Hitachi will pay less attention to both storage media and will concentrate on new possibilities of applications and higher storage capacity.

 1GB IBM Hitachi Microdrive
The IBM Microdrive allows users of digital cameras to capture more high-resolution photos without the need for frequent downloading of data.
With capacities of up to 1 GB on a single hard disk drive, the IBM family of microdrives offers high-capacity yet cost-effective personal storage for electronic devices.
And weighing only 16 grams, the Microdrive delivers high capacity in a compact, portable package, a key requirement for today's handheld electronic devices -- FROM subnotebooks to digital cameras to new mobile information products.

 Hitachi confirm 2 and 4 GB Microdrive: Digital Photography Review
Hitachi will participate, through its development partners, in major industry events such as IFA Berlin in August to demonstrate the 4GB Microdrive and discuss the underlying technology in greater detail.
The miniaturized hard drive is designed for users who demand maximum capacity for storing large quantities of high-resolution digital photos and video, MP3 music, electronic games and other large files.
“Microdrive has been the crown jewel of our miniaturization efforts for the past five years,” said Tsuyoshi Takahashi, general manager, Emerging Markets Business Unit, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies.

 studio2f: Size matters
When we consider that Hitachi probably has a monopolistic share of the CF card market in storage devices over 2.5GB, this could be the starting point for a good class action.
The reason for this is that many OEMs using Hitachi 4GB drives in their products are doing so with proprietary firmware written to their specialized OEM hardware implementation.
Since the drives are physically the same and have the same part number, it seems clear the only difference must be in the software configuration and therefore, reversible.
http://www.studio2f.com/misc/2004/02/25size_matters.php

  
 Aximsite - Beware: Hitachi 4GB Microdrive & X50v
My conclusion is: Before you buy Hitachi 4gb CF card, you have to goto Hitachi Microdrive support website to find out whether you have the driver which is support your PDA processor.
For those who have latest technology in their hands that comes with Intel PXA270 family processor, we have to wait for Hitachi to develop a new driver to support this processor type.
I also worked with Dell and Hitachi tech support to solve the problem but it is still unsolved.

While I’m waiting, I thought I’d do the due diligence and prove the MicroDrive from the Creative Nomad Muvo2 is usable in a camera.
Now after copying a set of software the device is conflicted with the data and is showing recovery mode and asking for firmware.
The new drive removed from the MuVo does not work in my Sony F828…I get the same error as the drive from the Ipod…I have formatted it with Fat32, and my computer sees it as a drive, but my camera won’t.

 Hitachi 4GB Microdrive Review - UberGizmo, the Gadgets Radar
I have been using a 4GB Hitachi Microdrive to replace a 2GB Pretec Flashcard in my digital camera for two weeks, so I thought that I might as well share my experience.
This is also true for flashcards, but as the microdrive has mechanical parts, it would be logical to be more worried about a failure.
Note that microdrives are about 1mm thicker than regular flash cards, so make sure that your device is compatible with a microdrive before buying one.

In addition to Apple, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies also provides its 1-inch Microdrive hard disks to companies including Singapore's Creative Technology and the Rio Audio division of Santa Clara-based Digital Networks North America, and Osterhout says he expects more companies to join that list as soon as new music players are launched.

Voor data uitwisseling met een desktop computer kunt u een CompactFlash reader gebruiken, bij voorkeur de snellere types met USB2.0, firewire of SCSI aansluiting; via een CompactFlash II adapter kunt u de Microdrive ook gebruiken met de meeste PCCard readers.
De Hitachi Microdrive is een harddisk in CompactFlash Type II uitvoering met een kapaciteit van 2, 3, 4 of 6 GB (oudere versies, gemaakt door IBM, hadden kapaciteiten van 170 MB tot 1 GB); de nieuwe 3/6 GB versies zijn zeer snel, bijna vergelijkbaar met Ultra Compactflashkaarts cards.
Prestaties zijn mede afhankelijk van de gebruikte camera, optimale prestaties krijgt u met de nieuwste professionele SLR camera's van Nikon en Canon.
