Maggio · 03-04-05, 09:56 PM

Hello. I understand that a Microdrive drains the battery, And according to tests that I read on this forum, it drains the battery quite a lot. Being I have an Hitachi 1GB Microdrive, this comes to be some concern to me. I found a good price on a 1GB CF card. Would you recommend getting the CF card in place of the microdrive, or does the CF card drain a sufficient amount of battery as well?

Thank you!
