Windows Phone Thoughts: 5GB Microdrives Hitting The Market -- From MP3 Players

To the best of my knowledge, both the new Creative MuVo2 and the Rio Carbon use the new Seagate 5GB Microdrives. Instructions have started floating on the 'Net as to how to extract these -- supposedly, they do work much like the Hitachi 4GB did on earlier Creative units. You can get instructions on extracting the drive from a MuVo2 here, and from the Carbon here.



Units have also started appearing on eBay, as it's apparently cheaper to extract it than to buy it standalone. Of course, if you decide to try the extraction trick yourself, realize that you're doing it at your own risk. That said, if anyone has played with the 5GB units in their Pocket PCs, report back and let us know!
