Were your Microdrives of the IBM variety? I have heard they were dogs, but that the Hitachi ones have fixed the bugs and are much more robust.

I think you NEED 2 cards minimum ... precisely because you don't want to put all your eggs in one basket. If you have 2 cards, you can switch them and offload the full card when there is a lull in the action ... that way you are not entirely relying on one card, in case it ever failed somehow.
So in my mind you're much better off getting 2 smaller cards than one big one.

Checked it more carefully and shows that on some cameras the "new" Ultra was tested back in 2003. So obviously not new at all.
However, you might want to read this:

Scroll down where it says Sandisk is switching to MLC flash RAM for new productions of Ultra II.

Yes, they were IBM Micro Drives.
I am glad to hear that Hitachi has a better version.

In case anyone else needs one of these, the company mymemory.co.uk have some good deals. I picked up a 2GB Lexar 80x CF card for £99 plus postage.
Their prices change often, so be sure you order quickly if you see a price you like. They also list on eBay, which is where I picked up my card, after a price increase on their own site.
