Even with the lid closed?
Could this work to install Windows 7 on the card? If possible that would be a instant buy for me. As much as I like Mac OS, I really need Windows sometimes but for it's partition, I need at least 40gb. And having a 128gb SSD kinda makes that a challenge.
wireless transfer is being done after the image is securely written to the sd card. Most higher end cameras are even using dual card slots which can be set up to automatically back each other up. This technology isn't going away anytime soon because it works so well. Plus, card capacity and speed has expanded right along with the growth of sensor resolution (raw files can be up to 50 mb now) and video.
What was the capacity of that last card you bought four years ago?
How are you going to store those 1000 shots of the Grand Canyon to transfer by WiFi afterward? No, I don't think SD cards are going anywhere for quite a long time.
Frankly, for me it was never so much to do with the internal storage space. It was more to do with the lack off RAM expandability.
I'm talking specifically about the MBA. Not being able to upgrade (at a later date) shortens the lifespan of your laptop. Forces you to either pony up at the start or buy a new machine.
More an issue for me I suppose as I can't BTO refurbished units from Apple.
I don't agree. Yes, more cameras are including wifi, but you still need a device to send the data TO. If you're out in the wilderness without a laptop or phone to dump the data on, those photos have to be stored somewhere. I can't see camera manufacturers eliminating card slots anytime soon.
I'm interested in an answer to this too.
How does this affect battery life if left permanently mounted?
It's not a moving part, so it can't have a significant impact.
How fast are these? I stopped using jump drives because, although I might have 16GB, they were so slow I never want to put anything of real "weight" on them. Took too long.
Considering TRANSCEND doesn't tout this info, leads me to believe they don't want to draw attention to slow speeds.
Except you're not taking to account the fact that Camera companies are going to keep using them. You have to have a small device to insert in both computer AND camera.32gb

Nice! That could make a big difference. Now all we need is for Apple to support splitting the iTunes library across devices. That is audio(music) on one device video on another.
But who was Nifty MiniDrive?
LOL. Yeah, notice how they don't show you *that* part. They do show you how easy it is to put it in though. But as we all know, it's always harder to pull it out than it is to put it in.
@TranscendInfo: Ordered! Now please go make a larger one, 256 GB at the very least (FWIW, rMBP 15").
Serious? Don't really know much about these types of cards and might consider getting these if they're decent speeds.
