Dual USB 2.0 and USB-C card reader

This compact adapter reads and writes SD, Micro SD, SDHC, SDXC and MMC cards through either a USB 2.0 Type-A or USB-C connector. It is aimed at photographers, videographers and 3D-printer users who need to move files between cameras, phones and laptops without carrying separate dongles. No driver installation is required on Windows 10 or 11, Mac OS X 10.2 and later, or compatible Android devices. The reader draws power directly from the host port.

Dust-proof covers and slim profile

Protective caps on both ends shield the connectors from liquid and dust when the reader is stowed in a camera bag or backpack. The transparent housing lets you see the internal layout, while the lightweight 0.009 kg body adds negligible bulk. Dual-slot operation allows simultaneous access to two cards, reducing the need to swap media during intensive offload sessions. Plug-and-play behaviour means the device is ready the moment it is connected.

Check host port and card format before ordering

Verify that your computer, tablet or phone provides a USB 2.0 Type-A or USB-C port with OTG support for the USB-C connection. The reader does not support CFexpress, CFast or UFS cards, so users relying on those formats will need a different adapter. Ensure your operating system is Windows 7 or newer, Mac OS X 10.2 or newer, or a compatible Android version. No external power supply is required.
