As a photography guy I have a lot of UHS-I compatible SD cards with 95MB/s. I know that since 2012 macbook air modell there is USB3 built in, but I heared that the sdcardreader is connected to a USB2 host internally and therefore not getting USB3 speeds with the built-in sdcardreader.
Is this also the case with the Macbook Air Haswell 2013 i5 modell or do we have USB3 enabled sdcard reader built into it now?
MacBook Air
sum-up: how fast is the sdcardreader on the new macbook air 2013 model?
Check this article:
About the SD and SDXC card slot
There is a question that is addressed in the article: "What is the maximum speed that my computer can use when reading and writing to an SD card in the SD card slot?"
That's the best writeup I can find for you.
Here's what my system info looks like as described above (2013 MacBook Air):
up to 5GB/sec...looks like sdcardreader USB3 is finally enabled on the new macbook air. Great!
Excellent! I hope you find success with a new MacBook Air.
