I found from the CF performance database in Rob Galbraith's site and it seems that the Hitachi 4GB MD performs quite differently in different DSLR:
http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=6007
Hitachi Microdrive 4GB on 300D - 719K/sec ,678K/sec
Hitachi Microdrive 4GB on 10D - 757K/sec ,746K/sec
Hitachi Microdrive 4GB on 1DS - 1184K/sec ,1601K/sec
Hitachi Microdrive 4GB on D2H - 1484K/sec ,1934K/sec
Hitachi Microdrive 4GB on DCS Pro14n - 3152K/sec, N/A
The first speed is for RAW and the second is JPEG. In general, it performs better in Kodak and Nikon but not Canon. And it has the worst performance in Canon 10D and 300D. And the difference can be up to 4 times!
Is it due to FAT16/FAT32 issue or other hardware specific reasons? Any improvement can be made?
Also anyone has other test statistics on this 4GB MD in prosumer DC e.g. Canon G1, Sony V1, Sony 828, etc?
Thanks!
