Even with my super fast ProGrade USB-C SD card reader, it takes a few minutes to import a 128 GB SD card and I’m not able to jump into other apps during the import. I’d love to be able to import photos into Lightroom CC in the background. However, when connecting the dual slot SD card reader from ProGrade, I was able to load two SD cards simultaneously. I tried to do this with a USB-C splitter from Belkin, but it didn’t work. This way I could mimic my traditional digital workflow and data redundancy strategy (which is critical as a traveling photographer).

I’d also love to be able to connect two external storage devices simultaneously. It would speed up and simplify the image review process substantially to have it built in. Nine out of ten times I’m plugging in a device, it’s a reader for an SD card. I’d love to see an SD/CFexpress reader built into the iPad Pro (and the MacBook Pro, for that matter). While the iPad Pro platform is uniquely powerful, I still have a few wishes, some that are nuanced to me and my specific workflow.
