USB-C SD and MicroSD card reader

This SmartQ C352 reader accepts SD and MicroSD cards through a single USB Type-C connector. It works with Windows PCs, Macs, Android devices and iPads without installing drivers. The USB 3.0 interface supports transfer rates up to 5Gbps for moving photos and video files quickly. Weighing 0.009 kilograms, it is built for portable use.

Suits USB-C devices needing SD slots.

Photographers and video creators using USB-C laptops, tablets or phones can add an SD card slot instantly. The dual card slots handle both full-size SD and MicroSD media including high-capacity cards. Devices that only offer USB-A ports cannot connect this reader because it lacks a Type-A plug or adapter. Buyers needing CFexpress, CF or Memory Stick formats should look at a different device.

Single USB-C connector with 5Gbps USB 3.0 speed

The only physical connection is a USB Type-C plug that delivers up to 5Gbps bandwidth. This single specification determines whether the reader matches the host port and the throughput required for large media transfers. No other interfaces or card types are supported by this model.

Questions about this item

Which card slot configuration should I choose for the C352 if I mainly use MicroSD cards?

The C352 is a dedicated MicroSD reader with a USB-C connector, so there is no alternative slot configuration to select.

What does the 5Gbps transfer rate mean when I plug the C352 into my laptop?

It indicates the USB 3.0 interface ceiling; actual throughput will depend on the MicroSD card's own speed rating and the host controller.

Does the USB-C port on the C352 support any video or power delivery standards?

No, the USB-C connector is used only for the USB 3.0 data link to read MicroSD cards.
