Review on πŸ’Ύ Sony Professional XQD G series 120GB Memory Card (Model QD-G120F/J) by Chris Smotherman

Sony XQD 128GB card not working?

I bought a Sony XQD 128GB card and it took a month and a half to use it. It works in camera but I can't upload photos to my Mac. Mac does not recognize the card. I have a 64GB Sony XQD card and it is recognized perfectly. I've tried this on both my iMac and my wife's iMac. Both 64GB cards are recognized but the 128GB card is not. I even downloaded Sony's XQD card reader software but it still doesn't work. And since it's over a month old, I can't return it. If I had known, I would have tried earlier. I formatted it in camera (Nikon Z6) and took two different shots, formatting the card in camera after each shot, but still no luck. I know it's not a card reader or USB port as a 64GB card is always readable and yes I've tried different ports directly on the computer. In connection with the upcoming trip abroad, I was very disappointed with this card. I'm not sure if I just need to buy 64GB cards now. The second part of this review. I changed my star rating from 1 to 4. I've found that with a cable and connecting the camera to my computer, I can view and delete photos or save them to my library. So I think it might be a problem with the card reader. Since I'm not sure if the card reader reads photos, I'm hesitant to slam the card if the problem really is in the card reader. I bought a card reader from Revain because it had a four star rating.
