USB-C Micro SD/SDXC/TF Card Reader Adapter

This adapter connects Micro SD, SDXC and TF cards to USB-C laptops, tablets and phones. It works with USB 3.0 and 3.1 ports and requires no driver installation. Plug-and-play operation makes it suitable for quick file transfers on the go. The compact design targets mobile users who need direct card access without a separate hub.

5 Gbps maximum data rate and card support

The USB 3.0 interface delivers up to 5 Gbps theoretical bandwidth for compatible Micro SD, SDXC and TF cards. Actual throughput depends on the card speed class and host controller performance. Large video files or batch photo imports will saturate slower cards before the adapter limit. Users with UHS-II or faster media may see the reader become the bottleneck.

Passive operation with no external power

The adapter draws power solely from the host USB-C port and has no active cooling. Under sustained heavy reads the body may become warm to the touch. There is no fan, so operation remains silent in all scenarios. Power consumption is negligible for typical laptop or tablet batteries.

Questions about this item

Will the USB-C card reader work at full speed on a laptop that only has USB 3.0 ports?

The adapter supports a maximum data rate of 5Gbps over USB 3.0 and is also compatible with USB 3.1 ports, so it will operate at its rated speed on either interface.

How can I confirm the reader is functioning correctly after plugging it in?

Insert a micro SD, SDXC or TF card; the host device should recognise the storage immediately without any driver installation required.

Does the package include a micro SD card or only the reader itself?

The product is the USB-C to micro SD/SDXC/TF card reader adapter; memory cards are not included and must be purchased separately.
