[QUOTE="Experimental, post: 1627938, member: 339699"] Great advice! Thanks for the reply. All of the cards are Sandisk Extreme at least, if not, Extreme Plus. This is going to be footage copied off and the drive it is going to is shipped out to the client. I'll already have two back ups on my end. Unfortunately, no USB 3 on the late 2011 MBP's. I think the best thing to do is do some trial runs with an SSD and a mechanical drive I have sitting idle here at the office and time each one in the same exact scenario I'll have in the field. It's obviously more cost effective to go with a 1tb mechanical drive over a 1tb SSD if the performance is negligible. But if I can eek out a spare 5-10 minute with each transfer of 3 SD cards at a time, that would highly beneficial. [/QUOTE]
