But it appears to be a bit slower. |

The microdrives in things like the Creative Muvo2 are no longer useable in CF devices, like digital cameras.
See this link for more info
The drives in the iPod Mini never worked in digital cameras, and Creative has since switched to that model microdrive because of rampant raping of their MP3 players for drives. |

Have to see if I can get my hands on an old one |

| I bought one of the older Muvo's with a 1st generation Hitachi 4 gb microdrive 2 months ago. Worked great. Unofortunately, it stopped working for me a couple of days ago. I don't recall dropping it or doing anything bad to it except transfer it from the 10D to the CF reader and back. Supposedly, microdrives in general are very fragile. Be gentle when using one and don't use it to store valuable pictures without backing them up. |
