Aluminum microSD Adapter for MacBook Air 13" and MacBook Pro 13"/15" (Non-Retina)

This is a fantastic little device if you are a Macbook Air user and don't wish to pay Apple's extortionate prices for upgraded storage; with this device and a microSD card (not included) you can easily add up to 256GB of storage to the computer, and the device sits flush inside the laptop allowing cases to still fit and ensuring that there is no risk of the device catching as you move the laptop - this would be a risk with a normal SD card. 10/10 would purchase again!

Most MacBook air of the time had only a128GB SSD. That is abysmally small and hardly adequate. Apple is attempting to all users to get large subscriptions to iCloud as a money maker. I have been buying these and 512GB micro SD chips to create an “internal” drive for data. Works very well and is hardly visible.

Der Adapter passt perfekt in den SD-Karten-Slot und lässt sich auch gut wieder heraus nehmen. In meinem speziellen Fall habe ich dadurch die defekte Festplatte ersetzt und boote den Mac mit guter Performance von der Micro-SD-Karte.

The product works as advertised. But some tips for a flawless experience: 1.) BaseQi produces different addapters for different computers. Is not One-Size-Fits-All. Therefore, this product will Work on 13"Airs but NOT on 11"Airs, or surfacebook or others. You have to read VERY carefully and select adequately. Efectively, the product sits flush and discrete on my MacBook Air 13" Early 2015. And It's easy on the eyes (i.e. It looks good) 2.) Some of the "Negative Reviews" state that the product may burn the MicroSD. While I find that hard to believe, just in case I tested it first with some Known Good MicroSD cards I do not care About (2GB) using AJA System Test. You know you have MicroSDs like those lying around between the sofa's cushions. Use them! 3.) All that testing also meant I had to insert and retrieve a couple of times. The "ToolLess" mechanism works as advertised (a fingernail is all I need, but YMMV). 4.) I used it, along with a 200GB U-3 MicroSD to move all my steam collection, and used a Symbolic Link. This is important because, if there were instabilities (i.e. the addpater disconected) the simlink would break, and that has not happened. Mind you, I haven't moved the machine around, but seems to be stable. Overall, quick and easy way to expand your storage without paying the high priced Apple charges for their PCI-e SSD. Just bear in mind that, even if you use any of the future V60 or V90 cards that are currently i the works, it will still be slower than the indernal drive. Specially for Writes. So, is best if the data here is Write once read a lot. Or write little read a lot (like, for instance, steam games ;-) ). End of Jul 2017 update: If the laptop goes to hybernation, the SD card disconnects. I believe this is more a problem of the OSX/MicroSD card combo, and not a problem of the adapter Per-Se. extracting and reinserting the adapter takes care of any issues, and since this is a tooless adapter, is pretty simple to do. If you get a different MicroSD (or an OSX Update works some miracle), this may not affect yu. Still a Great product.

大容量(〜1TB)でも動作しました。ちゃいなにしては安定していますが、一時期からの在庫切れだったり 急激な値段高騰に疑問が残ります。リピートしたくても躊躇します。
