Yes, it will fit, and should work. I don't know how MicroDrives work with the MT. I know some people have used them, but I'm under the impression that your recording time will be less.

That's ok. It won't be used to stealth and I'm pretty sure I'm going to build a battery pack for it.

The microdrives are less than the flash cards.

FYI-

I have the Hitachi 4GB microdrive for my MT.  I couldn't get the MT to recognize and format it through the original firmware.  (I don't know about the update.)  However I did get it to work by putting it in the MT with the power off.  Then I plugged in the USB line to the computer.  The computer recognized the drive amd I formatted it via my PC.  Now it works without issue.
