SD and microSD card readers
SD and microSD card readers include USB readers, multi-connector models and combined card readers and hubs from Lexar, Ugreen, Tech-Protect and other brands. They suit photo, video and everyday file transfer tasks. Choose according to your memory card format and the connection on your device, with USB-A, USB-C, Lightning and Micro USB options represented across the range.
SD and microSD card readers provide access to photos, videos and other files stored on memory cards. Options include USB readers, dual USB-A and USB-C models, Lightning readers and combined card readers and hubs. Brands include Transcend, Icy Box, Conceptronic, Hama, Lexar, Freewell, Tech-Protect and Benfei, alongside Ugreen and others. Different connector combinations suit different working setups, whether a reader stays at a desk or is used across several devices.
How to choose SD and microSD card readers
Start with the card format and the available port on your computer, phone or tablet. Check the specific reader's compatibility with your device model and memory card before choosing. Next, compare the connector arrangement and stated USB standard. For regular photo and video transfers, consider the card, reader and device port together rather than judging the connection by its shape alone.
- SD and microSD slots: Choose a reader with slots for the card formats you use. TF is another designation used for microSD in product names.
- USB-A and USB-C connections: Readers are available with either connection or both. Dual-connector models are useful when moving between devices with different ports.
- Lightning and Micro USB: These connections appear on selected readers. The device connector and the memory card slot are separate selection criteria.
- USB standards and UHS-II: Options include USB 2.0, USB 3.0 and readers specifying UHS-II support. USB standards and card interfaces describe different parts of the connection.
- Combined card readers and hubs: These models bring card reading and hub functions together. Refer to the individual product description for the connector arrangement.
For importing camera photos, working with video files or transferring documents, match the reader to the card format and the connections you use. A standalone reader or a combined reader and hub can suit different desk layouts and file-handling routines.
