I bought Microdrives when I got my *ist-D (though at nearly twice that price for half the capacity - boo, hiss!) But before doing that I checked with the pro shooters I run into at car races, who have been shooting digital since the first DSLRs showed up. Several of those were still using MicroDrives (even several of the old 340MB models). Nobody felt they were too unreliable to depend on, and this is folks earning their living from the photos they deliver. Their only caveat (and this is one they applied to CF cards as well) is never to rely on individual file deletion; fill the device up, then re-format it when it's time to re-use it.
