I bought a class 10 64GB card for $50, don't know the speed of a class 4s
Class 4s work fine for music. Just been trying it out.
New problem: Jettison isn't remounting my drive. How do I fix that?

Currently Jettison will not remount the SD card. You can set Jettison to not eject the SD card by holding down the Option key and click on the Jettison icon in the menubar. Select "Preferences with Extras" from the menu, then click on the Extras tab in the prefs window. There are options to excluded external drives and include internal drives.
Which version of Jettison and OS are you using? The method I described may only be in the next build which I don't know if it is released yet.
Leaving the SD card inserted can prevent hibernation, which is a deep sleep that gets activated an hour or so after the computer goes to sleep.
Can you eject the SD card from the finder, or does it tell you its in use?
I hear remounting a SD card safely and without opening back door security holes is not that simple with the newer OSs.
I leave my SD card permanently inserted and exclude it from the eject list.
How could anyone have one large enough to do Time Machine backups to? A SD card big enough must be hundreds of dollars? Doesn't time machine need like at least your hard drive size?
some people only backup the Home user folder data, and not the system, applications, etc. My secondary backups which only include that data are about 20GB in size.
That makes sense. I wasn't even aware you could do that. I think I'd like to be able to do everything just in case, it'd be good to have my files but I'd prefer to not lose applications too.
Hopefully micro sd's drop in price in the near future, I really want to pick one of these up.
so, don't get me wrong, I HAVE a full backup, and a CCC backup and do once a month a backup to the full backup, which includes applications, system, etc. But, for me I don't add a bunch of apps daily/weekly and don't do a bunch of system updates. So, that backup, running once a month to a TC in the house is fine.
But then, I have a little SD card which contains all my daily data, email changes, documents, desktop, everything that CAN and DOES change daily - sometimes hourly. I'd really like to get that off the SD card (and thumbdrive) backup and onto the nifty for regular hourly backup. For that, I only need the 20GB total. So, my 32GB Class 10 SD card works fine - and does my itunes backup too!
I think that some are missing the point here. It's not whether or not you can buy or make a cheap alternative. You are not paying for an SD adapter, you are paying for a designed SD adapter. You may or may not think the looks worth the extra $$$, but that's up to you.
i think i'll get one, to use with a 64/128 GB card, so i have someplace I can put movies from an external HDD (which is not always connected to my computer, as it's not very mobile) and watch on my computer (and replace them at will).
edit: went through kickstarter and their website but didn't find anywhere to buy it. am i missing something?

Probably not, folks were waiting several weeks at one time.
Search for minidrive on amazon and you should find several alternatives.
The rMBP has a thinner SD slot, so the adapters designed for other Mac laptops may need to be filed down a bit to work.
Anyone have a Nifty MiniDrive they'd want to sell? Or do you know how to order one? Looking for one for my 15" rMBP.
Not interest in the knock offs on Amazon or eBay.

When my first set arrives (Ordered July last year) if it doesn't work out I will have a Black 15" Retina version....
I bought mine in Ebay and price was not a knock off, keep looking there.
