Att Microdriven är känsligare än CF-kort tvivlar jag inte på. Däremot är de kanske tillräkligt säkra för en del, men jag tycker det är alldeles för osäkert.

Dpreview idag. Är Microdriven även känsligare för statisk elektricitet?

"just learned a lesson that I thought I'd pass along to the group...
ALWAYS ground/discharge yourself before handling Microdrives and other removable media!!
I received several new items today for my D100 (gray card, tripod, ballhead, Lumiquest Softbox and Promax) and spent a couple of hours taking sample shots of my very reluctant de facto test subject: the dog. I shot over 90 images.
As I was inserting the 1GB M-drive into the card reader, I felt a shock. I had a bad feeling, inserted the card, and sure enough the files were totally corrupted. I was able to retrive the files using Norton, but they are corrupted too badly for Capture to read. I also tried opening them in PS and View to no avail. They be hosed...
So, a word of caution. Since dry-air-and-static-electricity season is in full swing, don't let YOUR media be the next victim!"
