Dual-Slot UHS-II Reader
The Sabrent CR-CSDM accepts both SDXC and microSDXC cards in a single external unit. It connects through an integrated USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C cable and works with Windows 8 and later or macOS 12 and later. No driver installation is required and the device draws power from the host port. An LED shows when the reader is active.
Sustained Transfer Behaviour
Each slot supports UHS-II speeds up to 312 MBps and both slots can operate simultaneously. The USB 3.2 Gen1 link provides a 5 Gbps ceiling, so combined throughput will not exceed that bandwidth. Backward compatibility with older SD cards and USB 3.1, 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1 hosts is maintained, with speeds limited by the slowest link in the chain.
Thermals Noise and Power
Bus-powered operation means no external supply is needed and the reader adds only a modest load to the host port. The aluminium-style shell dissipates heat passively during extended transfers. With no moving parts the unit runs silently. The integrated cable removes a potential failure point and keeps the setup compact for travel or desk use.

Questions about this item
How hot or noisy does the CR-CSDM get when I leave it transferring files all day?
The reader has no fan and draws power only from the USB-C port, so it runs silently and stays cool to the touch during extended transfers.
What host port must my laptop already have to use the integrated cable on this reader?
You need a USB Type-C port; the fixed cable plugs directly in without an adapter.
Will my older UHS-I SD cards work at full speed in the CR-CSDM?
The reader is backward compatible with UHS-I cards, but each card will be limited to its own maximum speed rather than the 312 MBps UHS-II ceiling.
