Doesn't work well with Mac OS X -- no support either
|
This device is horrible, you cannot gracefully eject a Microdrive under Mac OS X. All attempts to do so simply make the drive re-appear on your desktop. You are forced to pull the card out "hot," and while the product claims to be "hot swappable" it has resulted in data loss for me. On top of that, once you pull the card out, it won't accept another one until you reboot the system.
I've emailed support, filled out the form on their webpage, and called (only to be directed to contact support through email). No response.
I can understand that the device may not work well with Mac OS, but it should not claim to be compatible.
Lastly, this device does not support Microdrives larger than 1GB. With 2 and 4 gig cards being used more often now due to increase in camera resolution, this reader has a very limited lifespan.
I spend too much time making photographs (both casually and professionally) to risk losing data to this reader. Beware with this thing. |
