What it is

The Orico CD2D is a 2-in-1 card reader that accepts SD, SDHC, SDXC and TF cards through a single USB 3.0 port. It is aimed at photographers, videographers and mobile users who need quick, driver-free access to memory cards on laptops, desktops and OTG-capable phones.

Build fit

The reader uses a USB-A and USB-C dual interface so it plugs directly into modern computers, tablets and supported Android phones without adapters or external power. Its compact ABS and aluminium body keeps desk clutter to a minimum and leaves neighbouring ports free for other peripherals.

Who it suits

This suits anyone who moves images or files between cameras, drones and multiple devices on the go. It is not for users who need simultaneous multi-card ingest, CFexpress or UHS-II speed support, or a reader that also handles CompactFlash, microSD without an adapter, or proprietary card formats.

Questions about this item

How fast can the USB 3.0 interface move data when I am copying large batches of photos all day?

The USB 3.0 link tops out at 5 Gbps, so sustained throughput will be limited by that ceiling rather than the card itself.

Does the reader get hot or draw enough power to drain a phone battery during a long transfer session?

The ABS and aluminium shell stays cool in normal use, and the low-power USB 3.0 controller adds only a modest draw on a phone or laptop.

Which cards and cables do I already need to make this reader work with my laptop and phone?

You need an SD or microSD card and a host device with either a USB-A or USB-C port that supports USB OTG for phones.
