Good Points: One of the fastest cards on the market -- beats most Flash Memory cards! HUGE & FAST storage means you can use maximum image sizes (especially good for those MegaPixel cameras!).
Bad Points: Handle with Care! This is what it says, a micro-diskdrive. It doesn't like harsh treatment, including transport vibration.
General comments: Others, far brighter than me, have run comparative read and write tests (look on the Web). The Microdrive came out in the top few (beating most Flash Cards) in terms of BOTH its read and its wrire capabilities. It's an impressive device, but take care how you handle it. It is fairly robust, but it is a disk drive after all.

Both fill a gap between floppy discs and CDs, though the microdrive is more durable and versatile; in that it can be used in an host device with a card reader slot.
Easy to use, and ...
