💾 Enhance Storage Capacity with BASEQI Aluminum MicroSD Adapter for Microsoft Surface Book Series (Model-350A) Review

This device fits in the SD card slot of my Surface Book. However, it remains unconnected after pasting. At random and frequent intervals the SD card will show as disabled for about 5 seconds and then reappear. This happens regardless of whether I'm actively using the laptop. I hear the sound of Windows shutting down from another room when I move away from my laptop for a while. I've found that it turns off especially when I'm writing or installing things on large files like movies. Since it…

Update: After writing the review below I had to contact the company (based in Taiwan) for information on purchasing a second unit for a different computer. No Answer. While I would still purchase this product again, I would do so knowing that despite what the website claims there would be no customer service, so I downgraded my rating from 5 stars. When I bought my 256GB Surface Book 2, I planned to expand the storage with a micro SD card, just like I did with my Surface Pro. But when I got the

This is the second version of BASEQI microSD adapter to expand Surface Book storage. I have one for my 13" Surface Book 1 and this one for my 15" Surface Book 2. **NOTE: You will need to purchase the adapter listed for your exact device size as they are different physical sizes. Perfectly matching the look and color of the Surface Book, this device fits seamlessly into the device's storage expansion slot with virtually no seams. It looked and worked so well on my first Surface Book that I…

This is a well-made and smart device that can save you some money on a Surface Book 2. I have the 15" model and saved a few hundred dollars by going for a 512GB SSD. Version over 1TB. Knowing that flush mount SD card adapters are available helped me. The Base Qi 351A is designed for the 15" Surface Book 2. It fits perfectly. It is completely secure, nothing gets in the way or snags, but leaves access to the nail groove at the top for easy removal if necessary. I have tried to capture in the…

I just received the adapter. And in general, aesthetically, that's what I expected from the photos that others have posted. No surprises. The real test for me was that he mixed it up :-) Just kidding. SPEED TEST. That bothered me when someone else pointed out that this doesn't support higher UHS-I and UHS-II speeds. So I tested the standard PNY adapter (P-SDU128U185EL-GE) with UHS-I and the BaseQi adapter in Crystal Disk Mark. SURPRISINGLY, the PNY adapter was slightly faster, while the BaseQi…

Let's get the one (small) flaw out of the way first. I only have one small complaint about this adapter (which does not have a return guarantee as it is perfect in every other way) - I need a thin blade or knife to remove it, although the description says no tools are required to remove it becomes. I don't plan on removing the adapter often though - I've always wanted to use it as semi-permanent extra storage for my Surface Book 3 - but it's worth noting that the only way you can pull it out…

This is my second purchase of a BASEQI adapter. The first one I bought didn't work at all. When I inserted it into my Surface Book 2, it recognized the SD card, showed the amount of free space, but nothing could be written to the card and prompted me to format the drive. If I took the card out of the adapter and put it in another adapter, the card would work fine. So it was obviously a BASEQI adapter. I went ahead and ordered a second one and asked for the first one back. (I originally…
