Not sure about Canon (don't follow them) but Nikon FX, some DX and some mirrorless cameras use CFexpress-Type B and/or XQD Type Memory. Therefore the HDMI port is a business user use case for those that refuses to spend $1K+ to buy a monitor or two. Pros are not using HDMI let alone HDMI 60Hz. The world has moved on and you sir are stuck in the past. Yes Apple was pressured to put it back in the MacBook Pros, but only because removing it in the first place was incredibly stupid.Īt this point if you would never use it, you're an edge case MBP buyer.ĭude, you obviously are out of touch w/what "pros" use. If you're a photo or video professional, or even a hobbyist, you NEED the SD card slot. I kinda want to get one just to plug up one of the ports Apple was pressured to put in on my 16-inch M1 Max MBP, that I will never, ever use.

Apple charges $200 to upgrade from 512GB to 1TB of storage. Should you buy the Transcend JetDrive Lite?Ĭost-wise, the JetDrive Lite 330 is neither good nor bad. The speed required to edit a 4K video and the vast size of the library makes the JetDrive unusable for this application.


While it works well enough for everyday files, we wouldn't rely on it for video editing.

It took roughly 45 seconds for us to transfer a 3.75 GB movie to the JetDrive, which isn't instantaneous, but fast enough to be useful. These aren't crucial files which means if we have to remove the card, we aren't missing much.

When we head out on trips, we download some movies and TV shows to our Mac to access while on the go. It's also proved useful for storing movies. Accessing files is relatively speedy depending on their size. We started saving images and documents not stored in iCloud. We preferred to use our JetDrive though just for extra storage. An off-site backup or cloud backup is always ideal. Don't forget though, that if something happens to your Mac, your backup may be lost too. Each subsequent backup took mere moments - depending on how much the data on our Mac changed.
