Microdrive
Pioneered by IBM, microdrives are minute hard disks that come in CompactFlash Type II format and typically offer larger storage capacities at a cheaper cost per megabyte. However, CompactFlash has been catching up with higher capacity cards. Microdrives use more battery power, create more heat (which can result in more noise) and have a higher risk of failure because they contain moving parts.
