USB-C SD 4.0 UHS-II 2-in-1 Reader

The EN-Labs USB-C SD 4.0 UHS-II Card Reader 2-in-1 is a compact adapter with an aluminium shell that lets you access full-size SD and microSD media through a single USB-C 3.0 connection. It supports SD 4.0 and UHS-II standards, plus V60 video speed class, and can read and write on both slots at the same time.

For UHS-II shooters and mobile workflows

Photographers and videographers using UHS-II cards will benefit from sequential reads up to 225 MB/s on microSD and 206 MB/s on SD, with writes up to 190 MB/s on either slot. The OTG function allows direct connection to compatible smartphones for field offload. Buyers who only have USB-A ports or need faster-than-UHS-II throughput should look at other solutions.

Deciding spec: peak read speed per slot

The single figure that determines fit is the maximum read rate: 225 MB/s on the microSD slot and 206 MB/s on the SD slot. If your camera writes faster than these ceilings, the reader will become the bottleneck; if your cards and workflow stay within them, the adapter will deliver the rated performance.

Questions about this item

Does the USB-C connector need a USB 3.0 port to reach the rated speeds?

Yes, the reader uses a USB 3.0 interface, so a USB 3.0 or faster port is required to achieve the quoted 206 MB/s read and 190 MB/s write on SD or 225 MB/s read on microSD.

Do I need to insert the SD and microSD cards in a specific order for simultaneous read and write?

No, both UHS-II slots are independent; you can insert either card first and the reader will access both at the same time without any special sequence.

How do I know when a card has reached its V60 write endurance limit?

The reader itself has no wear indicator; rely on the card's own health monitoring or replace the card if sustained write speeds drop below the V60 60 MB/s minimum.
