🔧 Optimize your Raspberry Pi with the BASEQI Low Profile Micro SD Adapter Review

I bought this to be able to store microSD cards in my laptop as it only had an SD card reader. Most of the SD card will be sticking out, so I needed a low-profile adapter so I could hold the cards without worrying about them breaking in a bag or something. This adapter does the job. I'm using it in a Lenovo Flex 5 (Ryzen 4000) and the adapter sticks out about 2mm, which is actually good because it's enough for you to get a fingernail in to pull it out. The adapter is not spring loaded so if it…

I wanted to use a 400GB minisd as a backup drive on my laptop. The laptop has a full size slot. When used with a full-size card, about half of the card is hanging around waiting to be ripped off. This guy comes in. The low profile adapter allows me to leave the card on 100% of the time without fear of it coming loose. The only drawback is easily overcome with ingenuity. A low profile card is a LOW profile. This means it can be difficult to extract. To fix this I attached a small piece of tape…

In short, all of these micro SD adapters do the same thing. It doesn't matter what computer it's connected to. You could say it's for Pi, MAC, Asus or whatever, it's all about the size. BaseQi likes to list its dimensions in inches. For this purpose, a metric would be a more accurate measure. I actually bought a digital caliper to easily convert and understand actual measurements because I bought something that would fit my Lenovo Flex 11. Images of the Flex 11 to give you an idea of the fit…

This adapter is the perfect solution for those hellish new half-depth SD card drives, like the one I guess came with my new ASUS Vivobook Flip 14?) Macbooks?. The problem with Vivobook, Asus Transformers and all tiny quasi-laptops is hard drive space and limited ports, the only easy solution is to use SD card slots. However, a typical SD card sticks out about a mile and is too bulky to be portable. That's why this cute little 1/2 deep SD card adapter is so cool. You can use a 128GB or 256GB…

128GB (only 93GB available) and ran out of space once I started installing programs. So I needed to utilize my storage space with external storage without lugging around a clunky external SSD. So the SD card was perfect for me, but the standard micro SD card adapter spans 2/3 of the SD card slot on this particular computer considering how shallow the slot is, and it can with small mishandling easily break in half. So this adapter is perfect for me. As you can see in the picture below it fits…

I read some reviews about this product from people who used it in a 13 inch MacBook Pro before buying it. This adapter is almost half the price of any of the smaller (Pi or 13" MBP) SD card adapters. Although this is for a Pi, it works fine on my 13" MBP. It fits really tight and since I mainly use it For extra storage, this works great for me "set it and forget it". The adapter isn't quite flush but protrudes less than 1mm which is also good as it's easier to remove if needed. Works as it…
