MacBook Pro's SD card reader can read standard SD (up to 2GB), SDHC (up to 32GB) and SDXC (up to 2TB) cards. The card reader won't recognize any SD card that doesn't have the standard size, 32 mm by 24 mm by 2.1 mm.

Editor's Notes
May 12, 2019:
It's been a while now since an optical drive was a standard feature on new laptops. If you're a dedicated Apple enthusiast, you'll likely be happy with the Apple SuperDrive, though it is very expensive. The Guammar, however, is nearly indistinguishable from it, and should be every bit as capable. Plus, it's offered with a native USB-C connector. For a similarly sleek appearance but with Blu-ray support, the Pioneer Super Slim is the way to go. It's not Type-C, but most users find that a Type-A adapter works fine.

For a slightly different balance of function and style, the Asus ZenDrive is hard to top. It's built by a respected manufacturer and is remarkably slim despite its traditional tray design. The Nolyth is one of the few Blu-ray models with a fixed Type-C cable, and from what we've seen, A-to-C adapters haven't satisfied 100% of users' needs, so it is worthy of consideration. Both of LG's options are highly reliable; one supports all three major optical formats and the other is limited to CDs and DVDs, but they're both good choices. Pioneer also makes a couple very dependable models, though they're generally at the higher end of the price range. Rounding out the selection are the Buffalo and Roofull, both of which are among the most affordable options.
