| I've had 2 Seagate Microdrives for my Canon 30D & 5D for almost 2 years now. I shoot RAW, but mostly JPG, and on occasion both at the same time. I have never lost a shot, but I learned early that you have to stay within the limits of the technology. i.e., handle with care, make sure your microdrive is compatible with your CF Card Reader, be realistic, and realize that if you need to shoot 10fps, then you need a very fast CF Card. Overall, I'm very happy with the product and Seagate. |

I have sent this item back to the elusive company that repairs or sends out refurbished stock with you return this CF. On 3 separate times it was returnd, and they seem to have lost the last return- $129.00 down the drain. I prefer my Toshiba 8 gb, as it works flawlessly for at least 48 GB's worth of photos. The Seagate failed every time, after very little use.
Definitely not worth the 39.00 they are now selling it for. |

| I bought this at an astonishing $49.99 almost half a year ago. Why has this drive increased so much in price? Anyways, I have two of them and trusted them to a Europe trip in April, to the 10,500 foot Sandia Peak in New Mexico in June (you are not supposed to use them above 10,000 feet)-never had a problem with either drive. Last year went to Asia for a month, brought a portable storage HD, why would this be any less reliable than, say an Epson P-2000 or Wolverine? If these came back to under $50, than I would by another pair. |

No such thing as to much storage space. I'm a storage hog. This is a great addition and much needed item for laptop users. We have 3 computers and this makes syncing a breeze. Great for transferring files from home to work and visa versa. Works well for me.

| The space is nice, but it is slower than imaginable. I have never seen something take so long to store a 5 picture burst.. it takes almost 6 seconds for me. Not that I am a professional or anything, but if your subject is moving relatively quickly, 6 seconds is long enough for it to be gone after you snap your first few. |

 "High Capacity, low cost, but slow" | 2007-03-09 |

| Fairly inexpensive when I purchased this for $150 last summer. If I waited until now, for the same price, I could get a CF card in non-hard drive version for the same price which I would suggest over this. The unit is very slow and the hard drive base unit takes alot more power from your machine. I use this with my Dell Axim X50v, and though it works, the battery consumption is very noticable. Also, the speed of the drive is definately not the fastest. Like I said above, for the $150 that I paid summer of 2006, it was a great deal but as all things, prices drop and if I had to do it over, I would skip this and go for flash based unit. |
