I have a Macbook Pro 13" Late 2012 with 120Gb SSD and I'm looking to increase its storage capacity using the flash expansion slot. I want to purchase the highest capacity and fastest flash memory I can find but I'm confused and afraid to buy flash memories that might not be compatible with my Mac. Would someone be kind enough to point out the best options? The more I read, the more confused I get. lol. Thanks.
The Flash expansion slot is primarily for SD camera card connectivity. Thunderbolt is an expansion connector with many options for external storage.

All the SD cards are compatible with a Mac. Even the fasted SD card is very slow so I would not use it when you need fast access.
My Mac has a small SSD, only 120Gb. There are things in it such as photos that use a lot of space and I do not access quite often. I'm thinking I can move those files to the SD storage and have it always on. I found one from Sandisk with 200Gb that fits flash so it would not come out. I thought this could be a good option.
In the sentence " I found one from Sandisk with 200Gb that fits flash so it would not come out." what do you mean by "fits flash so it would not come out"?
Sorry, I meant FLUSH
For storage which yo do not need fast access the SD card is fine. However, you still have to periodically backup all you data, both internal disk and SD card
