I used to think this way. I changed my mind after dropping my microdrive. No matter how careful we are, accidents always happen.

well if you keep the microdrive in the camera all the time, you wouldn't drop it unless you drop the camera as well, in which case you lose both devices.

Wai, what's the speed rating of the Twinmos 512mb CF card? Izzit the same as the Ridata 512mb one?

I mean the speed rating on paper and not physical test. Coz if its the same..might as well go for the twinmos one
