You might want to check the storage card tests at www.robgalbraith.com (I think there may be a similar one at www.dpreview.com), which shows that, with the D30 at least, the best flash cards are only about 1.5x as fast as the microdrives. This may have changed a little in his new test, but I think that test was only for the D1x. A lot depends on the camera, rather than the max write speed of the card.
Also, something to consider is the size of the card...several 128MB cards are not as good as a single 1GB for my use, because I have to switch cards after about 30-40 shots. With wildlife, this can make the difference between getting a shot and not getting a shot. Of course this is less of a problem now that there are 512MB and 1GB card coming to market, though they are still quite expensive.
