: Does the CF card use less power? Is the power savings significant?
Yes. Yes, especially over the old, 300MB microdrivfe.
: Is the Microdrive faster than the CF card? The one listed above was 4x/8x.
Faster on write, I think, a bit slower on read.
: Are there any other advantages/disadvantages to CF vs Microdrive?
CF is quiet. Microdrive can cope with swap partitions.
