I realize that because a microdrive has moving parts while compact flash
does not, there is more to go wrong, possibly. Probably more prone to
shock. But for that price, if it lasted 1/2 as long as a CF card with the
same capacity one would probably break even. I've had a 1G microdrive for
2+ years and it's still working fine.

$109 for 2G? OK it's a microdrive, but... I've used a 1G microdrive in
the *istD and it has worked well. I noticed some difference in
performance but this deal is pretty good.
I don't trust the little buggers myself.
OMMV
