1GB Microdrives Can Die!

No really, I've gone through 2 since January, they just keep dying for no good fucking reason. What complete bullshit, it's bad enough that I lose all the 800MB of memory I had on that sucker, but I also get to wait until I get shipped a new one. I'm sorry, but if I spent as much money on this fucking thing as I did, I want it to work! Not die every two months (at the most opportune times too~) like they have so far. <br><br>Just a warning to anyone considering buying a 1GB Microdrive, if you think that an Ipaq is a gamble, then don't buy a 1GB Microdrive.

Yeah, you're goddammn right I got replacements, for the price I spent on this bitch, it better be free to replace defective bullsh*t parts! Actually, the OEM that I've had to go through have been pretty cool (a bit clueless, but cool) about replaceing it.... so far.

But they are reliable, they dont drain the battery, they dont make weird noises and they dont die....

My MD is still working just fine, even with all of my tough love.<br><br>I reckon these new batches of Microdrives are built cheaply.<br><br>
