The docks are a good solution for local drives and wired network, but---this sounds like someone who doesn't need a pro machine. Some of us do. Maybe Dell sells one.

- rickyc091 10y agoTo be fair, professional photographers would be using a compact flash card with their cameras so they would have an adapter. http://www.astropix.com/HTML/I_ASTROP/COMPARE.HTM http://www.astropix.com/HTML/I_ASTROP/COMPARE.HTM It's primarily hobbyist that use SD cards. Of the subset of Mac users that have Macs, how many of them actually use the SD card slot? I'd imagine a very small percentage and they probably have the data to back it. Most people just shoot on their phones. Flickr data backs this. Rank 1, 2 are all camera phones. https://www.flickr.com/cameras https://www.flickr.com/cameras
