SDXC card for Macbook Pro

[tximacusr]

I just bought a 64GB ScanDisk Ultra PLUS SDXC UHS-I Card to use on my Macbook Pro, but as I push it in it won't go all the way.
Was told by Best Buy it works on a Macbook Pro.

Is there a specific size or brand that I need to buy?
Thanks!

The SD card reader in Macs are not supposed to fit the whole card inside, only about half way.

A couple of companies make custom cards that are designed to fit flush to the outside of the laptop:

Full-size SD cards will not fit fully in any Mac.

PNY and Transcend make chopped-off SD cards that are custom-made to fit flush into a Mac's SD slot.

Thanks for your responses.
It works, just didn't know about it only going halfway.
Not bad for $50.

One more question:
Do I have eject like any other external drive to avoid it being corrupted?

B&H is a toy store for me, without a doubt.
I buy stuff from them.

Yup. Click on the drive icon in Desktop and hit Cmd+E, or eject it from the Finder sidebar.
