USB 3.0 Card Reader for SD and microSD

The Transcend RDF5 is a compact USB 3.0 flash card reader with two slots supporting SDHC, SDXC, microSDHC and microSDXC cards at UHS-I speeds. It connects to any desktop or notebook USB port and draws power from the bus. The white housing includes an LED indicator for card insertion and data activity. It suits photographers and videographers moving high-resolution files quickly.

Check USB Port and Card Compatibility

Verify your computer has an available USB Type-A port for the USB 3.0 connection, which also works with USB 2.0 ports at reduced speed. Confirm your memory cards are SDHC, SDXC, microSDHC or microSDXC with UHS-I support. This reader does not accept CompactFlash cards, so CF users need a different device.

LED Indicator and Bus Power Simplify Use

The built-in LED shows when a card is recognised and when data is moving, removing guesswork during transfers. USB power means no external adapter or battery is required, keeping the setup minimal for travel or desktop use. Supported SD security functions add a layer of protection for compatible cards.

Questions about this item

What cables or adapters come with the Transcend RDF5 and what must I buy separately?

The reader plugs directly into a USB 3.0 port and draws power from it, so no external power supply or cable is required; you only need to provide your own SD or microSD cards.

Which card types does the white RDF5 support so I can pick the right capacity?

It accepts SDHC and SDXC cards with UHS-I, plus microSDHC and microSDXC cards with UHS-I, covering standard and high-capacity formats in both sizes.

What does the USB 3.0 label mean for real-world transfer speeds on this reader?

The SuperSpeed USB 3.0 interface lets you move high-resolution photos and video files at the full rate your UHS-I cards can deliver, while remaining compatible with USB 2.0 ports.
