USB-C SD and MicroSD Card Reader

The Vanja 430C is a USB-C card reader that accepts full-size SD and MicroSD cards simultaneously. It connects to laptops, tablets and smartphones with a USB-C port and supports SDXC and SDHC formats up to 2 TB. The USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface delivers up to 5 Gbps transfer speeds for large photo and video files.

Photographers and mobile creators who need

This reader suits users who move files between SD and MicroSD cards on USB-C devices such as recent iPhone, MacBook, iPad and Galaxy models. It requires no extra adapters and draws power from the host port. Buyers whose devices only offer USB-A or who need a ruggedised housing should consider other options.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface at 5 Gbps

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection providing 5 Gbps bandwidth. If the host port is limited to USB 2.0 the reader will still work but transfers will be far slower. Verify that the target device has a USB-C port capable of USB 3.2 Gen 1 to achieve the rated speed.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the USB-C model for my iPhone 15 or a USB-A version for an older laptop?

The 430C uses a USB-C connector, so it plugs directly into iPhone 15, 16 and 17 models plus recent MacBooks and iPads; choose a USB-A reader only if your computer lacks USB-C ports.

What does the 5 Gbps headline speed mean when I copy a 4K video to my MacBook Pro?

USB 3.2 Gen 1 caps the link at 5 Gbps, so a 1 GB file moves in seconds; real-world throughput will be lower due to card and controller overhead.

Which USB standard does the reader use and what does it limit in practice?

It runs on USB 3.2 Gen 1, limiting the maximum bus bandwidth to 5 Gbps regardless of how fast the SD or MicroSD card itself is rated.
