... a miniature hard-disk drive developed by IBM and available in 1999, the microdrives are extremely small-sized hard disks that can fit in a Compact Card memory slot. Two drive capacities will be available, 170 MB (megabyte) and 340 MB, enabling digital cameras designed to use Compact Flash memory cards to gain large storage capabilities. This is particularly useful for camera models that are able to store uncompressed images, since these images require a large amount of storage.
