Review on πŸ’Ύ Enhance Storage Capacity with BASEQI Aluminum MicroSD Adapter for Microsoft Surface Book Series (Model-350A) by Scott Adaymiln

Speedtest Comparison

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 adapter lost very little power and was actually faster in the ONE. I added test images (the one with 64.06 is the BaseQi adapter). Another tip that might be helpful for my fellow Surface Books (and sisters) if you want Windows to recognize this as a full drive instead of removable media (which is useful if you're using it as your primary Dropbox drive, for example). doesn't allow you to save your Dropbox folder to "removable media"), follow the steps I found online. [.] It was only the first day, but I will report on my long-term use. Vote if you found the Speedtest comparison helpful!

Pros
