SanDisk SD UHS-I card reader USB 3.0

This SanDisk SDDR-C531-ANANN reads a single SD card and connects through USB 3.0. It is built for photographers and video creators who need to offload files from a camera card to a computer quickly. The compact black body makes it easy to carry in a gear bag or pocket. It works with any USB-enabled device for straightforward file transfers.

Transfer speed up to 170 MB/s via USB 3.0

The reader delivers image transfer speeds of up to 170 MB/s when used with a UHS-I card on a USB 3.0 port. That rate moves large photo and video batches up to 10x faster than USB 2.0, cutting the time you spend waiting for copies to finish. The interface is backward-compatible with USB 2.0 ports, though speeds will drop to the older standard. This single spec decides whether the reader matches your workflow pace.

Backward-compatible USB 2.0 support

The USB 3.0 interface falls back to USB 2.0 on older ports, letting you transfer projects to virtually any computer or laptop without extra adapters. No bundled software or cables are mentioned, so the accessory change is limited to this broad port compatibility. Buyers who need a multi-slot reader or a built-in cable should look elsewhere.

USB 3.0 supports up to 10× the bandwidth of USB 2.0, and the reader is backward-compatible with USB 2.0 ports.
