Dual USB 3.0 and USB-C Card Reader

This 2-in-1 adapter adds SD and microSD slots to laptops, tablets and phones that lack built-in readers. Its USB 3.0 Type-A and reversible USB-C plugs connect to both legacy and modern ports without extra cables. The device draws power from the host and requires no driver installation on supported systems. It is aimed at photographers, videographers and mobile workers who need fast, portable media offload.

Suits single-card workflows.

The reader accepts one card at a time, so users who must copy between an SD and a microSD card in a single pass will need a second adapter. It supports UHS-I SD, SDHC, SDXC, MicroSD, MicroSDHC and MicroSDXC cards up to 2TB, covering most current camera and drone media. Buyers who need UHS-II or UHS-III speeds should look at a different class of reader. OTG-capable Android phones, iPad Pro models and recent MacBooks work immediately; devices without OTG support cannot use the USB-C connection.

5Gbps USB 3.0 transfer rate

The interface delivers up to 5Gbps bandwidth, quoted as 10x faster than USB 2.0, which determines how quickly large RAW bursts or 4K footage move to the host. A built-in control chip keeps the link stable during long copies, reducing the chance of drop-outs or file corruption. This speed ceiling is the single figure that decides whether the reader matches a workflow’s throughput needs.

Questions about this item

Does the reader come with any cables or memory cards, or do I buy those separately?

The box contains only the dual-interface reader; SD, microSD and USB cables are not included and must be purchased separately.

Should I choose the USB-A or USB-C connector for my MacBook Pro and iPad Pro?

Use the USB-C plug on both devices; the USB-A connector is for older laptops and desktops.

What does the 5 Gbps headline speed mean when I copy 4K footage to my laptop?

It is the USB 3.0 interface ceiling; actual throughput depends on the card’s UHS-I rating and the host controller.
