USB-C RFID reader with card storage

The UGREEN 55886 combines a USB Type-C card reader with a magnetic-lid case that holds two SD and two microSD cards. It is aimed at photographers and videographers who want fast offload and secure card storage in one pocket-sized device. The reader works with USB-C smartphones, tablets and laptops without drivers.

170 MB/s maximum transfer rate

The single specification that decides suitability is the 170 MB/s peak throughput, which requires a compatible high-speed SD or microSD card such as SanDisk Ultra Pro. The reader supports SD, SDHC, SDXC, microSD, microSDHC and microSDXC formats and can read one SD plus one microSD or two SD cards simultaneously.

Plug-and-play with magnetic case

Installation is plug-and-play on any USB-C host; no software or power adapter is needed. The magnetic lid keeps cards from falling out during transport. The only common issue is expecting 170 MB/s with slower cards — the reader will still work but at the card’s own rated speed.

Questions about this item

How does the 170 MB/s headline speed translate when I plug it into my laptop?

With a card that can deliver 170 MB/s the reader will transfer at that rate; slower cards will run at their own maximum.

What does the USB-C connector actually limit in daily use?

The USB-C port provides plug-and-play operation on phones, tablets and laptops without extra drivers or power.

Will the 1.9 cm by 10 cm by 15 cm case fit in my camera bag pocket?

At 1.9 × 10 × 15 cm and 0.09 kg the combined reader and four-card holder slips into a small pocket or pouch.
