My 1GB Microdrive has made three trips overseas and logged about 12,000 photos with my D-30 and aside from a goofup on my part (removing it from my Windows 2000 machine without properly 'ejecting' it from the software) it has been flawless. WRT that aforementioned goofup, I managed to restore most of the 100 or so photos that were on it (we were in Alaska at the time) by using the Windows disk repair utilities.
