Can boot OS X from Sandisk adapter but not as quickly as from ssd or hdd
These Sandisk adapters are foolproof and work great. You can boot OS X from these but it is noticeably slower than booting from an SSD or HDD. I used a high-speed "gold" SD card which helped speed things up somewhat. For whatever reason, I haven't been able to figure out how to boot Windows from an SD card using this adapter, whether on a MacBook Pro or on a standard Windows laptop. I suppose you need a special BIOS that has the capability to do so. I was hoping that I could boot my MBP into Windows using this adapter and not have to install Windows using BootCamp, but it didn't work. (I also couldn't boot Windows from a WinTec 96 GB ExpressCard.) Mostly, I use this card as an emergency bootup for OS X and as a quick way to transfer photos from my digital camera. The card sticks out slightly so it is not as elegant as, say, a Lexar 8 GB ExpressCard which seats flush. When inserting and ejecting the SD card, you often have to also insert or eject the entire SD card adapter for Windows to recognize what just happened. You will see another adapter like this (I think from Sony) that has a spring-loaded mechanism which supposedly allows you to push on the SD card to eject it instead of pulling it out, but that product has the same flaws as this one (that product also often requires inserting or ejecting the entire adapter for Windows to realize that something just changed). The spring-loaded feature of that other product doesn't even work that good - the SD card still stays stuck in the adapter and when you try to dislodge it, the adapter comes out at the same time. I would recommend saving your money and buying this Sandisk product rather than the spring-loaded one.

Solid working convenient adapter.
Does what it is designed to. Fits even with the edge of the case. It is some what hard to get the card out of the adapter when it is in the laptop. I am content and use it very often.

No Space Unused
It utilizes the 34mm card slot quite nicely and allows for 2 SD Card readers. It can store data and virtualize an Ubuntu OS.
