Compact SD and microSD reader

The Lexar LRW450UBNA is a 2-in-1 card reader with two slots that read SD and microSD cards at the same time. It connects through a USB 3.1 interface and is coloured black. The compact form factor measures 2.51 by 1.5 by .6 inches and suits photographers or videographers who need fast, portable media offload on Mac or PC.

Upgrade from slower USB 2.0 readers

This model reaches 312 MB/s with UHS-II cards and remains backwards compatible with UHS-I at 170 MB/s. The jump is worth it when your workflow moves large RAW bursts or 4K footage and the current reader caps at USB 2.0 speeds. Supported formats include SD, SDHC, SDXC, microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC.

Suits creators with UHS-II cards who need

Buyers who want more storage formats such as CompactFlash, MMC or xD should look at something else because this unit supports only SD and microSD. It also does not serve users who require an internal drive bay or a reader with more than two slots.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the 2.51 by 1.5 by .6 inch Lexar LRW450UBNA need beside a USB 3.1 port?

The reader measures 2.51 inches long, 1.5 inches wide and .6 inch high, so allow at least that much space next to the port; its compact shape fits beside most adjacent connectors without blocking them.

What is the correct way to insert an SD or microSD card so both slots can be used at the same time?

Align each card with its labelled slot — SD on one side, microSD on the other — and push gently until it clicks; forcing a card upside-down is the common mistake that bends the internal contacts.

When should the LRW450UBNA be replaced if transfer speeds drop below the rated 312 MB/s?

Try a different USB 3.1 port and a known-good UHS-II card first; if sustained reads still fall well under 312 MB/s after cleaning the slot contacts with compressed air, the reader’s controller has likely degraded and the unit should be replaced.
