Hey everyone,

Here's the deal with this post.  You all know I'm not some sort of ad guy who comes into every forum trying to sell something.  I've been part of this forum for almost 6 months now and I've never tried to sell anything.  The reason I'm trying to sell this is because I want a few microdrives for my Digital Rebel but I need to buy 20 from a distributor here in Canada.  It will cost WAY too much to buy 20 without having them sold already, but if other people here want one or two I will be happy to give them to you for my cost + shipping fees.

I can get Hitachi 6GB Microdrives (brand new, not stolen or anything like that) from a well-known Canadian distributor ($1 billion in sales last year - Synnex Canada) for $120 CDN each (here in Canada they retail for as much as $230).  Is anyone interested?

I apologize if this post annoys anyone.  If Tyler or anyone doesn't want me to post anything like this again, I will not do it in the future.

Thanks,
Joseph

I don't use them--my camera won't take such high capacities.  However, I understand they're fairly reliable, and the price differential may justify buying them.  BUT--compact flash is much more durable.  It can go through the washing machine and be fine.

aren't micro drives a risky way to take pictuers??.. with little spinning parts.  Isn't a flash card better?.. just wondering?

I just bought a photo data bank, which has 40 Gigabytes. It is like an eternal hardisc working on battery with a card reader. So I do not need anymore to buy high capacity compact flash cards. That is much cheaper. And you can use it with a lot of different cards. I had it for my 2 week vacation. It worked perfectly..

Actually it is called Smart portable storage Digimate 2,  it is an me2 device. I have seen some with 120 Gb in the internet.

I prefer not to buy products where I've never heard of the company, but thats just me.  I stick to Kingston for my memory needs really.  I like the storage thingy suggested by freezing pictures.

I have a couple 2GB Ridata SD cards I've used in various cameras.  You can always do a search for reviews, or maybe head to newegg.com and check out user reviews of the Ridata cards there.  They're a good deal, good performance, and I've had no problems with them at all.  I wouldn't hesitate to buy their brand again in the future.
