I don't see how a MicroDrive could be faster than solid-state memory? The MicroDrives work exactly like a hard drive, having to move to the correct place on disk before read/write will occur. While with solid state memory, every memory location is accessible at the same instance (just like RAM). With moving parts, battery consumption, and in MY opinion slower speed.....I just don't see how a MicroDrive would be worth it?
