Seems to be a warning regarding microdrives in these. FYI- I modified
my x-drive to use an outboard battery pack of AA's and added a switch to
the chassis. Turned out the voltage fluctuation was too great with
both the microdrive and internal disk being accessed- made for some not
too pretty sounds and also neat sags on the o-scope. Therefore, I
wouldn't recommend one uses microdrives in one of these. YMMV,

It copies media to the local HDD at 4x the speed of the X-Drive, it
verifies
the transfer, it displays remaining space on the media/HDD in MB/GB and it
is
powered via 4x AA NiMH cells. It also has a more robust extruded aluminium
case
and a neat pouch that can be worn on a belt.
