I would pay a lot of money for the new MacBook Pro 16 to have SD card slots. And by a lot I mean whatever let’s me stop using this dumb dongle 😳

Gary that “dongle” you’re using is probably a PoS. I did a video comparing performance of the internal ready to a quality USB3 one. Pretty impressive: photojoseph.com/moment/v60-v…

Yeah it might be, that’s why a dedicated SD card slot would make me happy 🤣

The ProGrade reader is a lot faster than the internal SD card reader by about 40% if memory serves.

Makes you wonder how they messed up the internal SD card reader so bad then!

I don’t think they did. I think it’s just newer tech in the reader; after all it’s been several years since the SD slot was included. I could be wrong though. Prograde makes reader isn’t cheap. But worth every penny (especialy the dual slot reader) if you create lots of content.

Good point, I always forget how long it's been since the SD card reader was built in, and just because clock speeds aren't much faster since then doesn't mean there weren't lots of other improvements in the tech.
