If you're looking for something that consistently delivers archival quality scans, you'll probably be disappointed. Storage size-wise, 35mm slides averaged about 3-3.5MB (jpeg), and 135 negatives about 4-4.5MB. When you select USB upload from the device's screen menu, Photos recognizes the SD card and brings up the Import window, allowing you to preview the images and then import to Photos. The SD card (32GB max size) that you install in back of the scanner shows up as a device in Photos. In about three hours I had all of them scanned and uploaded into Mac Photos. I had almost 2,000 slides/negatives sitting unloved in boxes.

What you have to figure out on your own is how to use the Brightness and RGB options to render best results from your scan. The manual is good for describing step to take to get into scanning quickly.
It took me a minute or two to figure out how to open the feed cassette to insert the adapters for different size media, as I didn't want to manhandle the plastic carrier (it hinges along the long top edge and has an over-center clip along the bottom edge that needs a little prying to open). Plug in the USB cable to the laptop and the back of the device and press the power button. The setup is straightforward out of the box. I hooked mine up to a MacBook via a USB port to power the device. If you have tons of negative and slides you want to bring into the digital world, this device will get the job done.
