Sorry to say but I only heard bad things about them. Do some search on your favorite search engine!

I went the safe route and chose Hitachi / IBM microdrives.

And they are not MicroDrives...
They seems to be slower than the IBM or Hitachi MDs (see here).
So buy either a MUVO and extract its 4Gig drive or buy a real MicroDrive. Having to deal with a problematic memory card in the field is not something enjoyable!

True!
If you're concerned about lack of warranty then buy the retail Hitachi MDs. They are more expensive but you are convered.

:cool:

Does anyone have any experience with the MagicStor 2.2Gig MicroDrive? The price (on flash-memory-store) is very favorable to the Hitachi 2 Gig, $190 vs. $235

Any thoughts?

Buy a MuVo2 4GB MP3 player and take out the hard drive.

$200, and a real Hitachi 4GB HD.

The MagicStor drives are garbage.

And you get no warranty if you pull one out of a player.

Edward,

Pull 2 out of players, you'll still save $100, and if one fails use the other one as your "warrantee" :-)
