RE: Late 2014 Mac Mini SD card slot compatibility question

I know that the UHS-II class cards are 'compatible' with the Mac Mini and your newer Mini uses the PCIe bus as an interface to the card slot so it has the speed to accommodate the faster transfers from these UHS-II cards.

I couldn't tell you if there are any sonic benefits when these cards are operating at lower voltages. Personally, I wouldn't trust my music library to any SD card as they are not as reliable as an over provisioned SSD with wear leveling. But for experimenting, sure why not.

Sorry I couldn't be more specific as I rarely ever use the the SD slot in my Mini, and the few times that I have it was for moving a couple files.
