USB-C and USB-A Card Reader

This Koss USB 3.0 card reader handles SD, microSD, SDHC and SDXC cards through both USB-C and USB-A connectors. It operates at the 5 Gbps USB 3.0 rate for quick file transfers. The compact design suits photographers and mobile users who need a single adapter for multiple card formats across different host ports.

Single-slot workflow only

The reader accepts one card at a time, so users who must offload SD and microSD media simultaneously will need a multi-slot alternative. The specification lists USB 3.0 (5Gbps) bandwidth, so workflows that demand higher sustained throughput should consider a faster interface. Buyers requiring legacy USB 2.0-only hosts should verify compatibility before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 5 Gbps rating mean when I plug this reader into my laptop?

The 5 Gbps figure is the USB 3.0 bus ceiling; actual transfer speed will be limited by the card you insert and the host controller.

Which USB standard does the dual connector use, and what throughput does it cap at?

Both the USB‑C and USB‑A plugs run on USB 3.0, so the interface tops out at 5 Gbps in either orientation.
