And Apple took out the SD card slot from the laptops , that’s a big fail
Nice
Couldn’t you just get a USB 3.1 external UHS-II card reader without having to buy this overly expensive MacBook Pro computer
Absolutely. I had one before I got my iMac Pro, and prefer to use that so that I don’t have to access the back of the Mac, anyway.
And effectively rendering your UHS-II bottlenecked? lol
USB sends data in data bursts and not in a constant speed, no matter how fast it gets, it’s not the best interface (that’d be Thunderbolt). Plus, if you have 4 ports, using 1 just for this kinda sucks.
But hey, who wants a dongle lol. Plus Internet Alpha is right.
How is the on-board reader connected?
Maverick Hunter K Not if its USB 3.1 maybe 3.0 or lower
TechPimp this is an Apple fan looking for small reasons to like the iMac pro.
If I was still a video editor, those kind of speeds would be a godsend.
BTW the PNY Card used is actually a U3 “Class 10” card. Silly SD nomenclature. It’s fairly quick for a UHS-I card.
I wonder how many people will try to put in the card from their seats in front of the computer and accidentally put it in the big vent by mistake.
ouh, i copy files from cards and then import them to editors 🙂 i just not trust readers.
You could still copy it from the card and it’d be faster than your reguar card, wouldn’t it? specially if you do it often!
Would’ve like to see a black magic speed test on these cards. It’d be cool to try video editing right from the card itself
I thought it was common sense faster cards means faster transfer…..
fireup the crystaldiskmark and show us the benchmark comparisons
Very cool.
Late in 2017 I got the 27 imac and could not be happier!!! What a great iMac
*Removes SD card reader from all MacBook models
*Puts a next gen SD card reader in the iMac Pro
Come on Apple, how is this supposed to help workflow if using the two together?
i think the imac PRO with finalcut PRO is perfect for editing my Mavic PRO footage.
it would be so much faster than my macbook PRO.
just like a real PRO.. especially if you add the ipad PRO with a clapper app.
Wrong methodology. You should’ve test uhs II card with mac, that is compatible with uhs I only.
Thanks , please test the 10gbit Ethernet performance.
Let’s be real if you’re a videographer or photographer for real you then you have a high speed multicard reader. This is not a must for a DESKTOP.
@9to5Mac do you know how to connect my ps4 to the iMac pro like using it as a monitor? just some normal cdmi to thunderbolt adaptor will do the job?
I really enjoy your videos Jeff. Simple, straightforward, and informative.
