Before I bought one, I checked many discussion threads about microdrives at www.dpreview.com and www.robgalbraith.com, and it seemed like the only ones that had any problems were the 340MB version, and even in these, it was an older version with a different stock number than the current ones.
My 1GB has been very, very reliable and works great. If you use a laptop, make sure you get the PCMCIA card adapter with it, as the microdrives are CF type II size which are thicker than the CF type I and so cannot be used in the same adapter. The D30 takes both types of cards.
