Well...a micro drive...as the term mentioned is actually a very small version of our hard disk drives...ie...they have tiny moving parts within the card itself...therefore it is prone to being damaged pretty easily via vibrational shocks (ie...drop on floor)...
CF cards are solid state memories that requires no moving parts to access...in side the cards are flash memories that store the info...ie...they are more resistents to knocks and rough handlings.... |

High speed CF cards are faster. CF is more or less dirt cheap these days anyway.
