Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:
Nice, compact, does its job as expected, good transfer speeds. Works on OS X 10.6
Cons:
Wasn't auto-recognized by OSX, so had to install custom drivers. Red LED looks a bit ugly
OtherThoughts:
Had to search for drivers on internet since Macbook Air doesn't have a DVD, and Macbook Pro's slot-loading DVD doesn't support 3-inch disks. Here is the URL for latest drivers (requires registration to download the driver): http://www.moschip.com/mcs7830_downloads.php
Bottomline:
Bought for my Macbook Air, after installing drivers works as it's Apple's own adapter.
