Apple’s MacBook Pro, which debuted earlier this year, represents a significant step forward. This is due to the retro design, which has additional ports that professional users, like as video editors, have been clamoring for for a long time. The SD card slot on the MacBook Pro is a wonderful addition, but it appears to have turned unwelcoming in recent months. Since a result, customers of the new MacBook Pro are utterly dissatisfied, as the SD connection is causing them problems such as illegible data and poor loading times.
There have been several claims on the internet that the new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models are proving to be difficult for customers, as MacRumors has discovered. The SD card reader, which is causing the most frustration, is causing different problems for different people.
However, whereas one user described his experience with the SD card reader as “super flaky” because his MacBook Pro takes approximately 1 minute to read the SD card and then occasionally displays an error reading the card, another user was appalled because every time he used the SD card, the Finder on his MacBook Pro would simply crash while attempting to read the card on his MacBook Pro.
This is quite aggravating. I was hoping that the import from the SD card, as well as the viewing of photographs, would be as swift as possible on my new 14-inch MacBook Pro. I have a very fresh 64GB SD card that has been performing well. Photos on the MBP using the internal SD card slot, on the other hand, take several minutes to load and can crash midway through the process. “Occasionally, the Finder will crash as well,” stated one MacBook Pro customer.
In these types of scenarios, formatting the SD card in accordance with the MacBook’s native formats is the recommended course of action. Users, on the other hand, were dissatisfied when they discovered that this approach did not work. And, to my surprise, the SD cards were not defective because they were compatible with USB-C dongles that had card readers built-in.
“The only thing that is consistent is that if a card works, it works every time, and if a card does not work properly, it does not work ever.” Reformatting does not make a difference, even if you use every other conceivable format. It makes no difference if the storage device is Sandisk, Sony, Samsung, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, UHS-I, UHS-II, micro-SD, FAT32, exFAT, or any other format. “I have a dongle that works properly with 100 percent of my cards.”
Now that a growing number of allegations have surfaced, it is imperative that Apple confront the problem before it is too late. The return of the SD card was greeted with joy by the professional user community; but, due to these flaws, the MacBook Pro may be on its way to being a victim of the same fate. And even if a remedy is made available as quickly as possible, the hardware’s limits will remain unchanged. The MacBook Pro’s SD card only accepts UHS-II cards, which are not as fast as the UHS-III cards now in widespread usage, according to our assessment of the device. Simply said, as compared to external card readers, the card reader still depends on outdated technology and delivers data at a slower rate than the latter.
