I am experiencing a strange issue with SD cards on 2023 Mini M2 Pro Sonoma.
This is NOT related to any of the Sleep/Wakeup issues reported by others.

When I insert an SD card sometimes it mounts immediately sometimes it takes about a minute.
Sometimes the card gets ejected a few seconds after mounting.

Most of the time the system randomly ejects the SD Card during a file copy using Finder or Import function using Apple Photos or other apps. The card then mounts on its own after few seconds.
Ofcourse this causes the file copy or import to fail.

I am not able to reproduce this problem on a 2020 Mini M1 Ventura using the same Hub and SD Cards.
Also never had this problem with 2014 iMac using the same cards.
So this is definitely not caused by the SD Cards or the Hub.

I am not experiencing the External Drive eject problems others are reporting.
