PNY StorEDGE 128GB not sitting flush with MAC book PRO retina display 13" and was recommend to by apple!!

I was recommended by apple online suppot to purchase the pny storedge to increase the memory on my mac and was informed it would sit flush with the mac. After purchasing this online which was not cheap it arrived and I inserted it into my mac and low and behold it does not sit flush with my mac book and only fits in half way. Feeling a little bit robbed, can anyone advise if this is supposed to fit in all of the way?

MacBook Pro with Retina display

I recently purchased one myself.

I have a 2012 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display and it fits perfectly.

I do remember reading some reviews stating that was not the case with the new 2013 MacBook Pros.

From what I read the 2013 MacBook Airs are ok.

I assume you have the 2013 model.

Push the card all the way until it clicks into the slot. It does not sit flush but nearly so. To release the card push it in until you hear the release click and it will pop out.

These devices do not increase memory. They add additional storage/disk capacity.

Yes I have the 2013 model, but this is really annoying as I gave the full model to the apple representative when speaking with them.

I am afraid if I push it in any further it will either snap or damage my mac.

Thanks for the responses.

Then take both back where they were purchased and have them sort this out for you.

I own both the mid 2013 13" MacBook Air and the late 2013 13" MacBook Pro retina display. I have the same 128 GB StorEDGE card. The SD card slot in the MacBook Pro is not as deep as the slot in the MacBook Air. The card fits nearly flush in the Air, but extends farther out in the Pro. The Apple store staff were unaware of the card slot difference until I showed them. Nothing you can do other than return the SD card if you are not satisfied with it.
