Review: Complete junk, "OS X" compatible is a lie. My Macbook sees that a reader is plugged in and the light on the unit shows up, but it doesn't recognize my card. Any other reader I have works fine. Don't bother if you use a Macbook, and I'd wager don't bother no matter your OS.
Review: Connects perfectly to my computer without any issues.
