And with USB 3.0 ports on the 2012 MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, those options have never been faster. It comes with a 7 inch USB3 cable.īOTTOMLINE: Your options for small flash storage have never been better. And the Envoy is faster and provides more storage. You would pay almost that much for the 64GB Lexar Triton JumpDrive. If you have your own flash storage module, the cost is $48 for the "wedge." The price for the bundle starts at $199 (120GB module). We installed the OWC 6Gb/s Aura 240GB module in ours. It is a thin aluminum USB3 "wedge" that accepts a flash module like the one used in the 2011 MacBook Air. One of the newest alternatives to the thumb drive is the Envoy from OWC. (If you have an Enyo or similar flash drive, you can get shorter 6 inch USB3 cables - even ones with right-angle connectors.) It is a slim, stylish, aluminum USB3 flash drive that is faster than thumb drives with more storage space - but pricer, too - and requires a USB3 cable. The OCZ Enyo has been around for a while. For example, if you already own an SSD, for $29 you can get the Apricorn adapter cable that turns your bare SSD into a fast bus powered USB3 flash storage device. Though not true jump drives, we included three small, faster flash alternatives. (I always lose the removable connector cover.) If you prefer a "conventional" thumb drive, we were impressed with the speed of the Lexar Triton and its retractible connector. That's because the fastest SDHC card on the newest laptops is more than twice as fast as the same SD card in the SD slot of the 2011 and older Apple laptops. If small size is the priority and you have a 2012 Apple laptop, you should consider using an SD card as your jump drive. If you are looking for a small, fast USB 3.0 flash storage for your 2012 Apple laptop, there are some great choices. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is available with a 2.5 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.1 GHz, 8GB of memory and 128GB of flash storage starting at £1,449 inc VAT (£1,207.50 ex VAT) and with 256GB of flash storage starting at £1,699 inc VAT (£1,415.83 ex VAT).

We in the Mac community are playing catchup on USB 3.0 devices just as USB 3.0 devices are improving in speed and reliability.

If only there was a Windows notebook that surpasses Apple's design, I would never EVER buy Apple products EVER again.Apricorn = Apricorn SATA to USB 3.0 adapter cable + TransIntl SwiftData 6Gb/s 240G SSDĮnyo = OCZ Enyo 128GB USB 3.0 Flash DriveĮnvoy = OWC Envoy USB 3.0 enclosure + Aura Pro 6Gb/s 240G flash module Having it charged while on my lap gets on my nerves when it keeps getting disconnected! I hate Apple for doing this. It always disconnects just by moving my macbook air from one spot of the table to another. In addition, the magsafe 2 is another failure in design.
I never thought spending $2,199 for a super computer would make me stress like this. It's macbook air's sd slot that's a failure. Therefore, the memory card is not the problem. The model MacBook Air 'Core i5' 1.7 13' Mid-2011 (Thunderbolt) is powered by a 32-nm Sandy Bridge 1.7GHz Intel 'Core i5' processor (2557M) with dual cores, a 3MB level 3 cache, 4GB of internal (non-upgradeable) DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600) SDRAM, 128GB or 256GB solid state 'SSD' drive with onboard Intel Graphics 3000 with 256MB (shared memory) processing.All of the MB Air hardware resides in an ultra.

I also tested on my windows 8 desktop to be flawless as well. On the other hand, doing the same things on my macbook pro 2010 is seamless. I have a top of the line macbook air 2012 (i7, 8GB, 512) and I always thought it's a versatile reliable computer but now I'm very disappointed. Copying files from SDXC to my macbook takes forever writing is also another issue that take much more than forever! So you just want to copy all the files to your macbook, and play from there. Video lags, stutters, chops, in otherwords, USELESS and a pain in the neck. Streaming HD videos straight from the SD Slot is butcher chopping the beef. Then, after a few more sweats, you can scroll through the thumbnails smoothly. Unfortunately, MBA struggles to detect or mount my card, after a few sweats, it would mount, but then very slow to process and preview the images as "Thumbnail preview". I had just bought a Sandisk extreme pro 64GB rated at 95mb/s for my Nikon DSLR.

Hi! How are you? The reason why I'm here is to find out more about SDXC support/compatibility info on the macbook air 2012 and how to fix this nagging issue if it's fixable.
