Imagine my surprise when this name brand SD card gave me the same issues.
Here's what I have to go through to load the things.
- Pray that it's going to work
- Insert card
- Wait to see if the OS recognizes it
- Remove card
- Put it back in, shifting it slightly forward
- Wait again
- Pull it back out again
- Push it into the slot, now more to the back
- Jiggle the card in the slot
- Pray that the card's not hosed now
- Jiggle the card some more
- Repeat any of the above steps until:
- See it pop up in the OS
- Threaten everyone around you to not get close to the computer and literally kill anyone that brushes or touches the card until you're done with what you need to do.
As the contact pins are all in a line across the card, I never suspected that making one work would be such a challenge. Every cheap device I've thrown one at, it's just worked, until I got the Mac. Seriously, I know the motto used to be "Think Different" but why take something that works everyplace else and curse it?
