Anker SD Card Reader, 2-in-1 USB C Memory Card Reader for Digital Camera SD Card Viewer with Dual Slot for SDXC, SDHC, SD, MMC, RS-MMC, Micro SDXC,MicroSD, Micro SDHC Card, and UHS-I Cards

My new MacBook Air has USB-C ports only, so I recently upgraded to this USB-C memory card reader, and it has completely solved all of my data transfer needs. Moving files, movies and pictures, I needed something fast and reliability, and this little device delivers on both fronts. It's small design is small enough to use with the two USB-C ports next to each other without blocking the other port on the MacBook Air. It is very easy to use, just plug and play. This reader is worth every penny. If you are looking for a well built, reliable, fast, and compact USB-C card reader to handle modern, high-capacity cards, this is the one to get. Highly recommended!

Works well. compact sizeI have been using this Anker SD card reader to pull photos and video off SD cards, and it has worked exactly as expected. Plugged it into a USB-C laptop and phone and it was immediately recognized without any setup. The size is a big plus. It is small enough to live in a camera bag or laptop sleeve without getting in the way, but it still feels solid and well built. Card insertion is firm and secure, not loose. Transfer speeds have been consistent for my use, and I have not had any disconnects or read errors so far. If you need a simple, compact SD card reader that just works, this one does the job.

Works perfectly with my laptop and tablet. Significantly sped up my photo and video transfer compared to pairing. Small enough to ease transport Jo matter which bag I’m using. It’s got a great feel and quality construction.

A really fantastic product! It just works so well with all of my usb-c devices—several cameras, two iPads and, iPhone. It’s fast and reliable and so tiny I can carry it at all times in my camera bag. Typical Ancher high build quality. And what a bargain! Highly recommended!

Anker products are always great and work as advertised. I but, I keep using them because they are the best materials I have found.

The official SD card specification (for UHS-1) tops out at around 100MB/s (before overhead, etc so you usually see more like 95). Sandisk, Samsung and others that release UHS-1 cards (which is the most common by far today) that claim reads and/or writes in excess of this have re-used the "double data rate" mode of older SD specifications at lower clock speeds and applied it to the maximum 208Mhz SDR mode to transfer up to twice as much data as the normal maximum in the official specification. That modification is fairly common these days (since UHS-2 didn't really take off since it needs more pins and has other issues) but you never know unless the card reader manufacturer tells you they support these "non-standard" (but nonetheless desirable) "extra" speeds. So: this card reader worked fine, didn't have any issues, and I got the maximum speed (of about 95 MiB/s reads, with writes being a bit slower: 83 MiB/s or so). It was able to read the cards I tested between 32GB and 1TB (well, "1TB" because it was a TeamGroup that was short 10GB, even if you used base 10 and not power of 2, ie TB instead of TiB). Like all readers of this type that I've had/tested, it was capable of simultaneously accessing two cards at once (one full-sized and one micro) but you get less than half speed on each (ie: more like 40 MiB/s + 40 MiB/s when both are reading, not either 95 + 95 or even 47.5 +47.5). I'm guessing most or all of these have a single SD controller and it switches between the two (with some overhead). If it had supported the higher (non-standard) speeds I probably would have kept it but I already got a cheaper one that does support them as well as both USB-C and A (where this one only supports C). Bottom line: this was well made, smaller than some, and follows the SD card specification, but for "just" that, there are less expensive options.

Works great out of the box. I recently upgraded my laptop that had a built in card reader to one that didn't have one. This product was a good replacement.

Works great with my iPhone 15. Easy to plug in and I like how it uses both SD and micro SD. Transferring pics from my GoPro to my iPhone was a breeze!
