Portable USB 3.0 card reader for mobile workflows

The Tripp Lite U352-000-MD-AL adds a multi-format memory card slot to any laptop, tablet or Chromebook that lacks one. A built-in 6-inch USB 3.0 cable connects directly to a Type-A port without an extra lead. Aluminium housing protects the internals during transport. No drivers or external power are required.

Aluminium case and fixed cable simplify daily use

The compact metal shell resists knocks when carried in a pocket or bag. A short integrated cable means there is no separate cord to lose or tangle. USB 3.0 SuperSpeed supports transfer rates up to 5 Gbps, ten times faster than USB 2.0, while remaining backward compatible with older ports. One device reads SD, SDHC, SDXC, microSD, CompactFlash and MMC variants.

Check your host port and card formats before

Ensure the computer or tablet provides a standard USB Type-A socket; USB-C only devices will need an adapter not included here. Verify that your memory cards fall within the supported SD, microSD, CompactFlash or MMC families listed. The reader draws power from the host port, so confirm the port can supply sufficient current for the cards you use.
