Customer Reviews of Microtech 340MB Microdrive with PC Card Adap USB Camermate and Software

Digital camera's best friend. Easy USB and software.
I really enjoy the USB CameraMate that comes with the MicroDrive. The software simply views the CameraMate as a physical drive accessible by Windows, so you can drag and drop files easily.
The volume of the MicroDrive is simply amazing and I highly recommend it over the CompactFlash counterparts.

There's no space like home
This is a must have if you spend any extended period of time taking pictures away from home or you take a lot of photos. On a cost per megabyte basis, you cannot do better than a microdrive. Its only potential disadvantages are it reliability and performance. Now that sounds alarming, but neither one is really a concern, as they are only disadvantages relative to standard memory devices.

E.g., microdrives are very reliable and they are reasonably quick. Regarding reliability, since they are miniature hard drives they are can, in theory, be damaged by dropping them. In practice I've only heard of one or two people experiencing such a problem, and those reports came via the Internet. That's not much evidence of a potential problem.

And performance specs show that thye are a bit slower, but I cannot tell the difference in performance between my microdrive and any of my compact flash memory cards. By the way, the 1 gig drives are reported to start up much more slowly than the 340 mb drives, so keep that in mind when deciding which one to buy.

Bottomline, Microtech makes a good card, if you can need the storage space then do not hesitate to buy one.
