Never had any hiccups, even when I removed the card before turning it's power off. 10.2.7 gave me a lot of kernel related problems when I tried things like that. The brand I'm using is dynalink, which I believe to be a Dutch brand. I can't imagine that they create the hardware themselves. One thing I like about it is that the USB-plug plugs straight into the card, no flimsy connectors attached.
