We could all use an extra couple hundred gigs of space on our MacBook, but no one is excited about having a bulky and expensive external drive sticking out of their computer. Hence the appeal of Nifty’s MiniDrive, which seamlessly adds up to 200GB to your MacBook without altering the laptop’s sleek profile.
This is a great, reliable alternative to cloud-based storage or more bulky options like USB drives, and right now you can get one for just $33.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.
Nifty’s MicroSD adapter-based drive can be used as a catch-all folder or as a solid backup solution, easily integrating with Time Machine. It’s designed so that its shape and color meld imperceptibly with your MacBook’s chassis, making it feel almost like cheating when you’ve suddenly doubled your hard drive capacity without adding an ounce to your computer bag. Note that this deal does not include a microSD card.
Buy now: Pick up a Nifty MiniDrive for $33.99 — that’s 15 percent off the usual price.

Ironically, the one thing this won’t work on is the MacBook. Guessing the author meant Pro or Air?
Where does the 200GB limit come from, given that SD cards come in 128, 256GB?
Be careful when you order this device. It is an adapter only! There is no memory included…only the adapter. And it states non-refundable.
I use my retina macbook pro as a more expensive chromebook so I can’t imagine ever needing this. About the only thing I ever install is turbotax each year. Other than that, it’s just an expensive device to run a web browser.
