SD TO SATA Card

This item came with no instructions, no troubleshooting guide or tips, no contact info for help. PC Never discovered the SD card or device. Yellow LED stayed lit, not sure, but would assume green is good, yellow is bad...Returned for full refund, be very wary of this one folks.

I bought this adapter for my DVR Surveillance system (H264 Eagle Eyes compatible system). Lapton and HDD SATA Dock Station recognize it, but my DVR does not. Even in various formats (FAT, FAT32, NTFS) is not compatible, i spend time and money with this UN-standar product.

Awesome concept. First off, the manufacturer should consider documentation. Second, if this worked just as a regular memory stick reader I would NOT bet giving it 1 star... maybe 2. In windows 7 64 this is recognized as a regular SD/MMC reader, that hangs when you try to read from it. Various distros of Linux had a wide range of responses, from not recognizing anything at all to being able to read/write (still not stable tho.) Ubuntu would allow itself to attempt to install to a SD card, but would hang after about 30 minutes. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NOT A TRANSPARENT BOOTABLE DEVICE, as the manufacturer's website states. Win XP pro 32 and 64 installer will crash if you try to run it with this device, Win 7 installers simply don't detect a device. I've tried this with 3 mobos, they all reacted sporadic at boot and would give SMART errors, detection timeout erros, ect... you probably get the picture. I've tried formatting the partitions on 4 cards (4gb class 10, 8gb class 4, 16 gb class 4, and 32gb class 10) to NTFS, FAT32, EXT2, and no table at all...
