There are also CF to SD adapters (I've been seeing

getting scarce too I suspect.
Somehow, I was under the impression that the microdrives were rated
only for intermittent duty. Are there any applications that run them
24x7 as primary storage? If not, I sure wouldn't want to consider a
microdrive as a substitute for a standard-sized hard drive.
Neither have I, but I haven't researched it much.
What's the write-cycle
endurance of a SD card?
Depending on the technology (SLC vs. MLC), around 100,000-500,000, if
I read the specs right. Huge for a camera or MP3 player, but not so
much for, say, a swap file.
