USB-C SD and microSD card reader

The UGREEN 80888 is a USB-C card reader that accepts full-size SD and microSD cards up to 2 TB capacity. It connects to laptops, tablets and smartphones with a USB-C port and requires no driver or external power. The braided cable prevents the body from blocking adjacent ports.

Photographers, drone pilots and trail-camera users

This reader suits anyone who needs to offload photos or video from SD and microSD cards on the move. It is not for users whose devices only offer USB-A ports unless they add a separate adapter. It also does not support CFexpress, CFast or XQD card formats.

5 Gbps maximum transfer rate

The interface tops out at 5 Gbps, so sustained read and write speeds cannot exceed that ceiling. Buyers moving large batches of high-bitrate footage should check whether their cards and host controller can saturate the link.

Questions about this item

Does the 5 Gbps USB-C reader get hot when I leave it transferring files all day?

The aluminium body is designed for heat dissipation and the braided cable keeps adjacent ports clear, so the reader stays cool during long transfers.

What cards and host port do I already need for the UGREEN 80888 to work?

You need a USB-C host device and at least one SD, microSD, TF, SDHC, SDXC or MMC card; no driver or external power is required.

Will this reader slow down if I plug it into an older USB 2.0 port on my laptop?

The reader supports up to 5 Gbps, which is ten times faster than USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps, so it will run at the port's lower speed when connected to USB 2.0.
