USB 3.0 SD / microSD / CompactFlash Card Reader with USB-C & USB-A
Product description
This USB 3.0 multi-card reader provides three dedicated slots: full-size SD, microSD, and CompactFlash (CF). It supports simultaneous read and write access across all three slots using a single USB host connection, enabling faster workflows when moving footage or photos from multiple cards.
The reader is USB-powered and features a 30 cm (1 ft) attached cable terminated with a USB-C plug and an integrated USB-A adapter, making it compatible with both USB-C and legacy USB-A hosts. The housing is compact and lightweight with a molded cable for mobile use; documentation and a warranty card are included with the unit.
No drivers or special software are required—this reader works plug-and-play with Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android and iPadOS. It supports Secure Digital v3.0 UHS-I speeds and is compatible with SDHC, SDXC, microSDHC and microSDXC media. MiniSD cards can be used if you supply your own adapter (not included).
The full-size SD slot accepts the mechanical write-protect switch so you can prevent accidental deletion or overwriting when moving cards between devices. The reader transfers data over USB 3.0 at up to 5 Gbps when paired with a compatible host port and is designed for use with cameras, dash cams, older video cameras, phones (with appropriate host support) and other media devices.
The product is backed by a two-year limited warranty and comes with free lifetime, 24/5 multi-lingual technical support for peace of mind when you depend on it in the field.

WILLIAM 5/5
Solid, dependable reader
Performs as advertised. Adds SD reading to laptops without slots and handles camera and dashcam cards as well as older video camera media. Well built and recommended.

MicroSD slot failed after a few uses
The microSD slot stopped working after three uses; it wouldn’t format cards on multiple PCs. A different non-branded adapter worked fine instead.

Sephiroth 5/5
Truly plug-and-play
Requires no drivers—just insert the card, connect to USB-A or USB-C and it works. I tested it on Windows 7/10/11 and on Gentoo and Artix Linux with no issues.

Handy and cost-effective accessory
Saved me from buying a more expensive device. I don’t use a reader often, but this covers my needs when I do. Good purchase for multi-format reading.

Works great on PC, tried for phone use
I bought it to try with my phone but used it on my computer instead. No installation needed, supports many card types, fairly fast. Cable is short but adequate.

Sturdy connection, no loose dongles
I needed a reliable reader without flimsy dongle cables. This unit feels solid, the cable stays secure, and it works well with my Dell system. Recommended.
