    I have actually been considering a high-capacity card such as this to use a semi-permanent storage drive in the card reader slot of my MacBook Pro. The computer came with a 512GB solid state drive, and this would effectively increase that by 50%, while allowing it to be removed with exceptional convenience.

    The one downside to using a card this large as a professional photographer is that it inevitably leads you to put all of your eggs in one proverbial basket. If you shoot a large event or project all on one card, and it fails, then you’re in big trouble. Splitting up events/projects onto smaller capacity cards can sometime be a huge advantage if a card becomes corrupted or fails. That way, you are only losing a small portion of the coverage, and not the entire thing.

      You can use a small sd card for that purpose like the Transcend JetDrive or a Nifty MiniDrive (you have to put in a microSD card of your own. Be sure to check the right model either 13-15 inch and year, some models have a deeper sd card reader than others. Mine stays flush to the macbook and is very hard to get out, and will never fall out.
