Compact USB 3.0 Card Reader for SD and Micro SD

The Tripp Lite U352-000-SD is a pocket-sized reader that adds an SD and a Micro SD slot to any computer, tablet or laptop with a USB-A port. It is designed for photographers, video editors and mobile professionals who need to offload files from a single memory card quickly without carrying a bulky multi-slot hub.

USB 3.0 Speed and Backward Compatibility Limits

The reader delivers SuperSpeed transfer rates up to 5 Gbps when connected to a USB 3.0 port, yet falls back to USB 2.0 speeds on older ports. Only one card can be accessed at a time, so workflows that require simultaneous reading of two cards are not supported.

Check Your Host Port and Card Format

Verify the host device provides a standard USB-A receptacle; USB-C only systems will need an adapter not included here. Ensure the memory card is an SD, SDHC or SDXC variant in full-size or Micro form factor, as other formats such as CompactFlash or CFexpress are not accepted.

Questions about this item

Should I pick this reader if I need both SD and microSD slots?

Yes, the U352-000-SD provides one full-size SD slot and one microSD slot, though only one card can be active at a time.

What does the 5 Gbps headline speed mean when I copy files to my laptop?

It is the USB 3.0 bus ceiling; actual throughput depends on your card's rated speed and the host controller, so large video moves will be faster than on USB 2.0 but rarely hit the theoretical maximum.

Does the USB 3.0 Type-A plug limit what I can connect to?

The male Type-A connector fits any USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 Type-A port; on USB 2.0 ports the transfer rate caps at the 2.0 ceiling rather than the 3.0 ceiling.
