    I don't think this is normal, it's a little shy of 300 charge cycle, and it's already around 82-85% capacity. Any thoughts on this?

    iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021) and sd card

    My 2017 Mazda Cx 5 has an SD card for the GPS updates. However as we know my iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021) doesn't have an SD card reader to do the update. Since the only card I will be updating will be that item, what works best ?
