I don't want to thread-jack, but this is kinda along the same lines.
What kind of SD cards have you guys bought for your adaptor? SDHC? SDXC? Which class?
I have a 13" Retina if that matters.....

Does anyone have any information on how to get one of these? I also want to know if they make a 128microSD card since that would be perfect for doubling my storage on my MBA.
I tried contacting the company and such but get no response back. Not very good customer service if you ask me.
I'm a Kickstarter backer and I'm following Nifty Minidrive updates pretty closely.
They are working on a new revision (Mk 3), which should be available at the end of May, before accepting sales again. It has been improved to be sturdier, eleminate potential read-only issues and comes with a new packaging. As with everything Kickstarter-related, don't be surprised if there's a delay though.
My own Nifty MiniDrive works flawlessly though. Issues are only affecting some people. I use it for my iTunes library since music doesn't require high read speed.
There are no 128GB micro SDXC cards for the moment, but they should come at some point. The theoretical limit of SDXC is 2TB.
You could always pick up one of those eBay knockoffs right now, but I personally find it unethical to steal the concept from a newly formed startup that deserve the success of their project.
I need to make one of these for my rmbp 13". Has anyone made one that works? since none of these companies are making one

That doesn't fit the rMBP (13" at least). I bought one and had to cut it down to size.

Yeah, thats what I said, you have to sand down the gray piece to almost flush with the black card, a size that fits into the rMBP slot.
I just ordered one of this at Ebay, now all I need is the micro SD card. The best deal I have seen for a class 10 64GB card from Sandisk is around $55; has someone seen a better deal?
Thanks

How exactly did you cut the card? The length, thickness? Explain please so I right, thanks in advance.
I have 13" Retina.

There is nothing revolutionary in this 'invention'.
I have disassembled a broken SD card, and found out that
there are no chips/traces at the bottom half of it - only plastic.
That means, you could make your own "Nifty Mini Drive"
by simply cutting a bottom plastic part of the SD card!
Of course, that would not look nice, but much cheaper solution.
Good to know, the only issue would be how to remove it once it is installed; the Nifty drive has a hole through which you slide a thin wire to pull it, would be harder to get out without it
Sorry to revive this thread but if I'm using the mini drive to play music from through iTunes, what SD card speed class should I get? Are the cheapo class 4s enough?
