There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've seen plenty of adapters like this all over Amazon, but what caught my attention was the fact that this could be removed without having to use any tools. Some adapters are like this, but leave some plastic piece sticking out. (Thus ruining the idea of an expansion you put in and forget about)
It truly sits in the slot without any part of it sticking out, and it doesn't get caught on anything. So far, it seems tight enough to where I don't have to worry about it falling out, and loose enough where I don't have to worry about causing any damage to my card reader. It could match the aluminum a little better, as it is slightly shinier and chrome like.
I keep my iTunes Library on the 128GB SanDisk Ultra microSD card I bought to use with this. I haven't had a problem yet.
All in all, the adapter works very well. I haven't had to re-mount it once after the MacBook sleeping and waking up several times per day. It is as fast as the card you put inside it, and I have not noticed any significant amount of battery drain since using this.
***** For those interested in the more technical aspects of this adapter, I am able to read and write to the microSD card inside it at speeds on average of 720Mb/s (approximately 90MB/s). The speed of the microSD card is the only limiting factor, the adapter is capable of handling any speed currently offered by microSD cards being sold.
My battery life is something I tested thoroughly, as it doesn't help to have double the storage if I can only use it for half the amount of time. Before installing the adapter, I achieved 14 hours 32 minutes 15 seconds of iTunes movie playback from files stored on my internal SSD. After installing the adapter, transferring the iTunes library to the microSD card, and running the test again; I was pleased to find that my MacBook lasted 13 hours 48 minutes 51 seconds. I personally found the 44 minute reduction in playback time acceptable, especially considering the files were being played from the microSD card over a much slower interface.
The power draw from using this adapter is 180mA measured using the system information tool in Mac OS X El Capitan while watching videos stored on the card.
This works like a charm! Once I inserted the micro SD card into the adapter and then the adapter into the Macbook it worked exactly the way that it was supposed to and it is completely flush with the side of the Macbook. I have a growing music and ebook library that are taking up too much space on the internal 128GB drive (lesson learned here was that the next time I'll shell out the extra money and get the Macbook with a larger SSD because 128GB tends to be limiting as time goes on). I moved the music and ebook files to the micro SD card and configured iTunes and Calibre to look on the micro SD rather than the internal hard drive.
Using this adapter and a speedy micro SD I've effectively doubled the available storage of my Macbook without the need to drag around an external hard drive. I'm very pleased with the results and wouldn't hesitate to buy this again. One piece of advice....don't skimp on the micro SD card....get one that has a high read/write speed. If you're patient you can usually find one either at Best Buy or Amazon on sale.....the Evo+ is usually $110 and I managed to find it for $49 (and of course the day after I ordered it Samsung released the Pro version with 128GB capacity). For under $75 I was able to free up a lot of space on the internal hard drive, have a lot of additional capacity on the micro SD, no longer have to carry my external hard drive in my bag and because this adapter is flush with the side of the Macbook it doesn't snag on the sleeve that I keep the laptop in.
I'd highly recommend this to others.

Tengo instalado el macOS Monterrey y Windows 10 y en ambos funciona bien.
El único detalle es que no funcionó con una memoria MicroSD marca Kingston. La memoria no tiene ninguna clase de daño, funciona perfectamente en todos los aparatos que tengo, pero al ponerla en este adaptador es como si no le pusiera nada, no aparece ni siquiera en el administrador de discos.
Parece que es algo físico de esa memoria porque se siente como que no entra hasta donde debería. Incluso me costó meter el adaptador en la MacBook con esa microSD en particular.
Pero después probé con otras memorias de marca Adata y también con una Sandisk y con ambas marcas funcionó perfectamente el adaptador.
Ignoro si el problema se extienda a toda la línea Kingston o solo a ese modelo en particular, ya que no tengo más memorias de esa marca para hacer pruebas. Me parece que la ceja que tiene esa memoria para poderse extraer es un poco más ancha que las de las otras memorias y podría ser que por eso no entra hasta el fondo del adaptador.
Pero aparte del problema con esa memoria en particular, el adaptador es del tamaño exacto de la ranura y por al acabado de aluminio, se mimetiza con el resto de la MacBook, de modo que se ve muy bien ahí en su lugar.
SD wird sauber erkannt und gemountet. Kann jetzt endlich meine kleine Foto Mediathek auslagern.
Und schönerweise ist der Adapter günstiger als eine vollwertige SD die für den Zweck der Passform bei einem Macbook von einem anderen Hersteller existiert.
