For people who have Macs with USB 3, do your ports scratch whatever is inserted?


On Apple's previous systems (USB 2) they used very nice quality ports but on builds that have USB 3 they seem to scratch everything. Heck, they were even scratching chrome plated connectors.

I said "were" because a little 800 grit sandpaper took care of the rough edges on the bottom of the ports.
