You can carry it around wherever you travel and most importantly it can last. The one I’m using personally is the Anker 8-in-1 card reader which at US$9.99 is a pretty good deal on Amazon. (you don’t need to get one if your Mac has an SD card slot) To get around that you’ll most likely need a thing called an SD card adapter which can wonder at times to save the in-deficiencies on Macs. The only little stumbling block is some Macs don’t have an SD card reader (post-2015 MacBook Pros) and some do.
Formatting an SD or a Micro SD card on Mac is a super simple process that will not take you longer than 3 minutes.
