Sony XQD Memory Card Adapter (QDAEX1/SC1)

Downgrading this product for stating the XQD cannot be ejected from the adapter is incorrect. The adapter fits into an express card slot and remains in it there is no reason to eject the adapter if it is the only express card device used with the laptop. A quality laptop (I have a Lenovo) will have a recessed area immediately below the express slot. To remove the card, simply insert a finger or thumb with the nail up and you will easily be able to pull the card out using the tab on the bottom on the card. You DO NOT try to push the card in to release, rather gently pull the XQD card out using the above instructions.Transfer speeds are great and there is not a need to haul around a separate USB card reader with this adapter. Simply leave it in your laptop and you are ready to transfer files without any external devices.

If you still have an ExpressCard Port on your MacBook Pro (New MacBook lines have dropped it unfortunately) this is a superb way to read XQD cards - if your internal disk is an SSD then the XQD over ExpressCard is mind-blowingly fast!One negative is that you have to pop it out to remove the XQD card, and in my case I usually have to pop it out and re-insert it after I wake up my MacBook to get the card to go live. but it never fails to go live at that point.

I "dislike" THIS product, for the very reason I LOVE the Lexar XQD reader... the Sony provides NO WAY TO EJECT the card, after it's inserted into the reader. On the Lexar reader, the card can be "depressed", and ejected... exactly the way the D4 camera works. On the SONY reader, the only way I could eject a card is to: (a) remove the entire ADAPTER from the computer (!!!), or (b) put a piece of tape (or "sticky page marker") on the XQD card BEFORE you insert it... so that you have a "tab" to PULL on to REMOVE the card from the reader. Sounds silly. I couldn't believe Sony would market the product with this kind of a problem. YES, it WILL read the XQD cards... but if you do it very much (or often), you'll be swearing at Sony just like me.ps: the XQD cards ARE worth the trouble! They're fast, reliable, and much easier to use (in the CAMERA). But Sony should have followed LEXAR's lead on the reader mechanism!

If you have a Macbook Pro 15" or 17" that has a Express card slot, then this is a much have. Hit the buy button and leave the cables at home.

Nothing to complaint about, I got it for my XQD adapter and work well without any problem.

If you shoot with a Nikon D4 with XQD memory cards, and you have a 54mm or 34mm ExpressCard slot, and want fast ingesting of your images, you will need to purchase the Sony XQD ExpressCard adapter. Images either raw or jpegs load fast! I have a Lenovo X230 with a 54mm expresscard slot, and the 34mm slides easliy into the left side of the slot. I actually keep it the slot for storage.

yes its fine and best seller

I just wanted to comment on the lack of a "spring load" feature to get these cards out of the sxs adapter. I view this as an enhanced security feature rather than a drawback.One of my concerns with the previous adapters for SD cards. I was always concerned that when I was checking to make sure thsy the adapter was seated properly, that I might inadvertently eject an SD card in mid record. The XQD cards have a little "lip" on them that makes it easy to take them out when you want to.All things considered, the read/write speeds on these cards make them a no brainer when working with large video files.
