I have never used a five gig microdrive, but I have used and continue to use compact flash cards. In earlier versions of the Keysoft software, they seemed to drain large amounts of current from the battery. However, I have not noticed a significant increase in battery usage, and though I may not be getting the longevity I would otherwise receive, I love having the storage capacity provided by compact flash, and to me it's worth a small decrease in battery life.

I am far more pleased with the amazing increase of storage capacity than I'm concerned with the minimal decrease in battery life. I simply keep the unit plugged in until I need portability. But then everyone has his/her top priorities!
