SD card adapter question

Hi guys,

My other half has just bought a macbook air and i was thinking of getting her a 64GB sd card for it as well.

Now I've seen on amazon that you can get micro sd card adapters that fit in flush to the macbook (normal SD cards poke out slightly).

Now my question is, is there any advantage over the other in terms of a normal SD card VS micro sd card with an adapter? Would there be any performance differences or reliability issues? I don't want to buy one for it then to break a year later!

Thanks for you help guys.

Thanks for the reply buddy.

I don't mind if the SD card pokes out slightly, I'm just wondering if there would be a performance difference between a normal SD card (that pokes out) compared to one of those flush micro sd card adapters on amazon? Would a normal SD card be more reliable (less likely to break) than the MicroSD card in the adapter?

If there isn't any difference between performance and reliability then I'll go for the flush MicroSD card adapter, but I'm just wondering if the MicroSD card has to go through an adapter to get to the mac, would that cause performance issues or a higher chance of it breaking?
